Download VAMPhyRE applications and test datasets
This page contains links for downloading VAMPhyRE applications. VAMPhyRE is available without cost
for accademic aplications. Versions for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are provided.
Update May 22th, 2025: VAMPhyRE is now available in GitHub!

VAMPhyRE suite: The software suite includes the basic applications: Virtual Hybridization (VH5cmdl), Virtual Analysis Fingerprinting Tool (VFAT), phylip_to_mega and Treerename. |

Dotfinger: Dotfinger is a graphic application which can display track files produced during the fingerprint comparisons with VFAT. This tool can help to compare genome sequences, throught their Virtual Fingerprints. | |

Characters: Characters is an alternative tool for processing genomic fingerprints. Comparison of fingerprints can produce a table of homologous characters that can be analyzed with this tool to test several distance models. The program can perform boostrap analysis to test grouping confidence. The program can be be used for proccess of character tables from other aproaches. Data must be provided as a CSV file. | |
HPV test dataset | HPV test dataset: This is a collection of complete sequences of the Human Papillomavirus collected from GenBank. This set can be used for a rapid demonstration of the procedures for calculating Virtual Genomic Fingerprints, Fingerprint comparison and phylogenetic analysis (see the tutorial files). | hpv.tar.gz hpv.zip |
Bacterial test dataset | Bacterial test dataset: This is a more complex data set which can be used for the phylogenomic analysis of bacterial genomes. Data set includes both complete and draft genome sequences to illustrate how these types of genomic sequences can be used for the calculation of Fingerprints and Phylogenomic analysis (see tutorial files). | bacterial.tar.gz bacterial.zip |
Legacy Perl Scripts (discontinued) |
Perl Scripts: These are the older collection of Perl scripts that were used to automate different analysis with the VAMPhyRE suite of programs. Analysis include parameter optimization,analysis automation and bootstrap analysis. These scripts are now replaced with Python 3 scripts in the GitHub distribution. | scripts.tar.gz |
