用于系统发育分析的计算机程序已经成为系统学和进化生物学的重要工具，但大多数程序的设计主要是为了重建系统发育树，而不是为了解释性状进化的模式。这里描述的是计算机程序MacClade，设计用于字符进化和系统发育的交互式分析。对于给定的树和字符数据矩阵，MacClade通过遮蔽树的分支来表示祖先状态来显示其字符进化的重建。树木可以被操纵，例如，通过捡起和移动树枝。性格进化重建的假设可以有很大的不同。通过这些操作和MacClade的图形反馈，我们可以探索系统发育树、角色数据、假设和角色进化解释之间的关系。MacClade有广泛的工具来编辑数据，以图表和图表的形式显示各种字符演变的摘要，以及打印。
Computer programs for phylogenetic analysis have been important tools in systematics and evolutionary biology, but most have been designed primarily for the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees and not the interpretation of patterns of character evolution. Described here is the computer program MacClade, designed for interactive analysis of character evolution and phylogeny. For a given tree and a matrix of character data, MacClade displays its reconstruction of character evolution by shading the branches of the tree to indicate ancestral states. Trees can be manipulated, for instance by picking up and moving branches. Assumptions underlying the reconstruction of character evolution can be varied extensively. With these manipulations and MacClade’s graphical feedback, one can explore the relationships among phylogenetic trees, character data, assumptions, and interpretations of character evolution. MacClade has extensive facilities for editing data, displaying various summaries of character evolution in charts and diagrams, and printing.
