'''Dendroscope''' is an interactive [computer software](/source/software) program written in [Java](/source/Java_(programming_language)) for [viewing](/source/Information_graphics) [Phylogenetic tree](/source/Phylogenetic_tree)s.<ref>{{cite journal | last = Huson | first = Daniel H. |author2=Daniel C.

Dendroscope can be used for a variety of [analyses](/source/Cladistics) of [molecular data sets](/source/Molecule) but is particularly designed for [metagenomics](/source/metagenomics) or analyses of uncultured [environmental](/source/Natural_environment) samples.   

It was developed by Daniel Huson and his colleagues at the [University of Tübingen](/source/University_of_T%C3%BCbingen) in [Germany](/source/Germany), who also created [SplitsTree](/source/SplitsTree).
