Efficient implementations of functions for the creation, modification and analysis of phylogenetic trees. Applications include: generation of trees with specified shapes; rooting of trees and extraction of subtrees; calculation and depiction of node support; calculation of ancestor-descendant relationships; import and export of trees from Newick, Nexus (Maddison et al. 1997) <doi:10.1093/sysbio/46.4.590>, and TNT <http://www.lillo.org.ar/phylogeny/tnt/> formats; and analysis of splits and cladistic information.
