Vestige provides a flexible, open platform for phylogenetic footprinting. Underpinned
by the PyEvolve toolkit, Vestige provides a framework for visualising the signatures of evolutionary
processes across the genome of numerous organisms simultaneously. By exploiting the maximum-
likelihood statistical framework, the complex interplay between mutational processes, DNA repair
and selection can be evaluated both spatially (along a sequence alignment) and temporally (for each
branch of the tree) providing visual indicators to the attributes and functions of DNA sequences.
