Phylogenetic tree reconstruction: basic concepts. A phylogeny is a tree containing nodes that are connected by branches.

image: A simulated phylogenetic tree. Time runs from top to bottom, and nodes represent species, lines represent the mutations in DNA associated with the gene that is being studied.

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species – the “family tree” of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...
