DNAMOVE is an interactive DNA parsimony program, inspired by Wayne Maddison and David and Wayne Maddison's marvellous program MacClade, which is written for Macintosh computers. DNAMOVE reads in a data set which is prepared in almost the same format as one for the DNA parsimony program DNAPARS. It allows the user to choose an initial tree, and displays this tree on the screen. The user can look at different sites and the way the nucleotide states are distributed on that tree, given the most parsimonious reconstruction of state changes for that particular tree.
The user then can specify how the tree is to be rearraranged, rerooted or written out to a file. By looking at different rearrangements of the tree the user can manually search for the most parsimonious tree, and can get a feel for how different sites are affected by changes in the tree topology.
