<body>
<p><strong>Calculation of trees from alignments</strong></p>
<p><strong>Distance Measures</strong></p>
<p>Trees are calculated on the basis of a measure of similarity
between each pair of sequences in the alignment :
-<ul>
-<li><strong>PID</strong><br>The percentage identity between the two
-sequences at each aligned position.<ul><li>PID = Number of equivalent
-aligned non-gap symbols * 100 / Smallest number of non-gap positions
-in either of both sequences<br><em>This is essentially the 'number of
-identical bases (or residues) per 100 base pairs (or residues)'.</em></li></ul>
-<li><strong>BLOSUM62</strong><br>The sum of BLOSUM62 scores for the
-residue pair at each aligned position.
-</ul>

+ <p><strong>Tree Construction Methods</strong></p>
<p>Jalview currently supports two kinds of agglomerative clustering
methods. These are not intended to substitute for rigorous
phylogenetic tree construction, and may fail on very large alignments.
