SplitsTree is a popular freeware program for inferring phylogenetic trees, phylogenetic networks, or, more generally, splits graphs, from various types of data such as a sequence alignment, a distance matrix or a set of trees.[1][2] SplitsTree implements published methods such as split decomposition,[3] neighbor-net, consensus networks,[4] super networks methods or methods for computing hybridization or simple recombination networks. It uses the NEXUS file format. The splits graph is defined using a special data block (SPLITS block).

An example of a neighbor-net phylogenetic network generated by SplitsTree v4.6.
