MASTtreedist is a software for phylogenetic tree-to-tree distance comparison by calculating these trees' "Maximum Agreemen SubTrees" in order to improve the visualization of tree "landscape". Our newly developed software program is integrated as part of existing phylogenetic analysis modular program Mesquite with build-in Tree Set Viz package.

The program should run in Unix/Linux, Macintosh or Windows with Java runtime environment (1.2 or above).
