Gubbins

Gubbins (Genealogies Unbiased By recomBinations In Nucleotide Sequences) can be used to identify recombination.

Gubbins (Genealogies Unbiased By recomBinations In Nucleotide Sequences) can be used to identify recombination using an algorithm that iteratively identifies loci containing elevated densities of base substitutions while concurrently constructing a phylogeny based on the putative point mutations outside of these regions.
