ZARAMIT: A System for the Evolutionary Study of Human Mitochondrial DNA

ZARAMIT is an information system capable of fully automated phylogeny reconstruction. Methods have been tailored to mitochondrial DNA sequences, with focus on subproblem partitioning. We have built exhaustive human mitochondrial phylogenies (approximately 5500 sequences) and detected problems in existing haplogroup hierarchies through data-driven classification. Information on the project can be found on zaramit.org .
