To rebuild the tree using a different algorithm, or the same algorithm with different settings, choose Tree > Compute Phylogeny Using > (Method Name). Part C: Spotting problems with the sequence data Does one of your trees look… “strange”? In the vast majority of cases, ...
What is the relationship between taxonomy and phylogeny? How does the phylogenetic tree that uses "prosimian vs. anthropoid" differ from the cladogram that differentiates "strepsirrhine versus haplorhine"? What are the differences between a phylogram, a cladogram, a dendrogram and a phylogenetic ...
Following recent hypotheses on the position of the root of the eukaryotic tree [21, 22], we decided to root our eukaryotic phylogeny between unikonts (opisthokonts + Amoebozoa) and bikonts. Under these conditions, we are confident that the topology obtained best reflects the true phylogenetic ...
Novice learners often read tree diagrams differently from specialists, resulting in diverse interpretations of the relationships depicted. The aim of this study is to understand how learners construct the picture of human phylogeny, focusing particularly on their views of the last common ancestor of ...
BackgroundA key step in microbiome sequencing analysis is read assignment to taxonomic units. This is often performed using one of four taxonomic classifications, namely SILVA, RDP, Greengenes or NCBI. It is unclear how similar these are and how to compare analysis results that are based on diff...
Increas- ing reference was made to this universal, molecule- based phylogeny as the "comprehensive" tree of the "entire spectrum of life" [13-17]. However, somewhat paradoxically, the very process of building phylogenies with molecules revealed the extent of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and...
trees are the efforts of people dedicated to studying groups of closely related organisms like genera or families who prioritize resolution in their study system over broader scale. Thus, the need for a complete tree of life will only be met if we can find a way to bring together these ...

characters from their molecular datasets. There still is a consensus that species descriptions should be character based [50] (but see the Discussion below for attempts at model based taxonomy), and that tree or distance based methods fail to extract diagnostic characters [6]. Character based ...
