collaborative assembly of phylogenetic trees

1. Log in (necessary to add, edit, and delete trees).
2. Upload "source trees" (normally, these are from published literature).
3. Create "grafted trees" from source trees.
   1. Select a source tree to be the "backbone" of a new grafted tree.
   2. Select branches from other source trees. You can search for taxa (named clades) to find branches of interest.
   3. Copy the branches to the clipboard.
   4. Graft them onto the grafted tree.
   5. Branches from grafted trees may be grafted onto other grafted trees.

Frequently asked questions

1. I click on a tree and nothing happens. What gives?
   For large trees, there may be a lag time for the requested action to be processed and the tree to be redrawn on the page. Please be patient.
2. How do I install phylografter on my own computer or server?
   See the instructions.
