EvoPrinter is a tool for phylogenetic footprinting -- that is, the use of multi-species comparisons to discover unusually well-conserved regions in a set of orthologous DNA sequences. In Drosophila, the combined mutational histories of five or more species renders near base-pair resolution of conserved transcription factor DNA-binding sites, and essential amino acids are revealed by the nucleotide flexibility of the third base of their encoding codons. Currently, EvoPrinter is formated for 12 Drosophila species and three mosquito species, as well as 25 vertebrate species and six nematodes.
