The functioning and features of the new software package VAT (Virulence Analysis Tool) are introduced. VAT provides a range of methods for the analysis of plant pathosystems. The techniques are applicable to other binary data sets that are organized in large two-way tables, e.g., molecular marker data. The main features are data entry, descriptive tools, and inference statistics by resampling. About 50 well-established or newly developed indices allow a detailed diversity analysis of sexually and asexually reproducing populations. VAT facilitates a comprehensive, effective, and logically consistent evaluation and presentation of virulence and resistance data. A translation option simplifies the comparison of results from differently coded pathotypes. The software package comes with a detailed manual and is freely available on the internet at tau.ac.il/lifesci/departments/plant_s/members/kosman/VAT.html and at va-tipp.de .
介绍了新软件包VAT（毒力分析工具）的功能和特点。VAT提供了一系列用于分析植物病理系统的方法。这些技术适用于以大型双向表形式组织的其他二元数据集，例如分子标记数据。其主要特点包括数据输入、描述性工具以及通过重采样进行的推断统计。大约50个成熟的或新开发的指标允许对有性和无性繁殖群体进行详细的多样性分析。VAT有助于对毒力和抗性数据进行全面、有效且逻辑一致的评估和呈现。翻译选项简化了对不同编码致病型结果的比较。该软件包附有详细的手册，可在互联网上免费获取，网址为tau.ac.il/lifesci/departments/plant_s/members/kosman/VAT.html以及va-tipp.de 。
