About DupLoCut
DupLoCut computes ancestral gene orders, given a phylogenetic tree and gene orders assigned to the leaves of the tree. It attempts to find the most parsimony assignment of gene orders under the duplication-loss evolutionary model.
Getting DupLoCut

The software was developed and tested on a Linux x86_64 system. It uses CPLEX 12.4, whose license is required to run DupLoCut. DupLoCut has been developed using an academic license from IBM.
Running DupLoCut
% DupLoCut -i <tree-file> -g <genome-file> -o <output-prefix>For a more detailed description see the README file or type
% DupLoCut --help
Example Instance
Stable tRNA and rRNA of 12 Bacillus lineages from amyloliquefaciens, subtilis, thuringiensis and cereus. Download RNA orders and NCBI taxonomy in format suitable for DupLoCut. The ancestral gene orders computed by DupLoCut imply 120 duplication and loss events.
