+ Calculation of trees from alignments +
++ Trees are calculated on either the complete alignment, or just the + currently selected group of sequences, via the calculations dialog opened from the Calculate→Calculate + Tree or PCA... menu entry. Once calculated, trees are displayed in a new tree viewing + window. There are four different calculations, using one of two + distance measures and constructing the tree from one of two + algorithms : +
++ Distance Measures +
+Trees are calculated on the basis of a measure of similarity + between each pair of sequences in the alignment : +
+ Tree Construction Methods +
+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. +
+ A newly calculated tree will be displayed in a new tree viewing + window. In addition, a new entry with the same tree viewer window + name will be added in the Sort menu so that the alignment can be + reordered to reflect the ordering of the leafs of the tree. If the + tree was calculated on a selected region of the alignment, then the + title of the tree view will reflect this. +
+ ++ External Sources for Phylogenetic Trees +
++ A number of programs exist for the reliable construction of + phylogenetic trees, which can cope with large numbers of sequences, + use better distance methods and can perform bootstrapping. Jalview + can read Newick + format tree files using the 'Load Associated Tree' entry of the + alignment's File menu. Sequences in the alignment will be + automatically associated to nodes in the tree, by matching Sequence + IDs to the tree's leaf names. +
