The Evolutionary Trace viewer is freely available for non-profit use. The current beta release is still under development and has been tested thoroughly only on Windows XP. Mac users need to make sure that "ETViewer_2_pub.jnlp" opens in Java Web Start (part of Java 1.4.2) rather than Java Cache Viewer (part of J2SE 5.0).

Please send us your feedback.

For profit use of the Evolutionary Trace Server may be arranged by contacting Mrs. Lisa Beveridge (beveridg@bcm.tmc.edu, 713-798-6821 ) to request a license from Baylor College of Medicine.
