The NINJA Mesquite package requires Mesquite 2.72 or later.

To install the NINJA package of modules

  • start up Mesquite
  • use the "Check Now for Notices/Installs" menu item in the File Menu
  • enter the URL http://mesquiteproject.org/packages/NINJA/install.xml
Mesquite will then present a dialog box with information, and from which you can install NINJA.

Once NINJA is installed, you can calculate a neighbor-joining tree using the menus: Taxa&Trees > Tree Inference > Neighbor-Joining (NINJA).


If you use NINJA from within Mesquite, please cite the paper that describes NINJA:
