What Is a Phylogenetic Tree Maker?

What Is a Phylogenetic Tree Maker?
A phylogenetic tree maker is a tool designed to help you create visual representations of evolutionary relationships among biological species or entities. These diagrams, known as phylogenetic trees, illustrate how different species are related based on similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics. Whether you’re a biologist, researcher, or educator, a phylogenetic tree creator simplifies the process of building and analyzing these trees, making it easier to study and communicate evolutionary connections.

How to Collaborate Around a Phylogenetic Tree in Creately?

  1. Share the workspace:

Share the workspace with your team, students and colleagues. Invite them to edit the workspace via email or a link invite.

  1. Brainstorm and discuss:

Discuss the structure and content of the phylogenetic tree with the team. Hold dynamic discussions through Creately’s Microsoft Teams integration.

  1. Collaborate to build the tree:

Divide tasks among team members via the task panel and track progress. Use smart notifications to stay on top of changes and updates effortlessly.

  1. Use full version history:

Use full version history to manage changes made by each member and to revert back if needed.

  1. Visualize the tree:

Visualize the tree in different perspectives to highlight features such as geographic distribution, ecological traits, or genetic traits. Include additional information to each element via the notes and data panels. Attach docs, links, references, images and more.

  1. Publish or share:

Download as a PDF, PNG, SVG or JPEG or get an embed link via the embed panel accessible through ‘share’. To share the workspace, simply add the team members’ emails and invite them to collaborate.

How to Make a Phylogenetic Tree with Your Team?

  1. Define the scope and research question

Discuss what the phylogenetic tree should answer and decide which organisms will be included. Use a shared workspace to brainstorm, sketch, and assign roles.

  1. Gather data

Collect DNA or protein sequences and morphological characters. Organize them using tables and notes.

  1. Align sequences

Align DNA or protein sequences to identify matches and mismatches. Bring all data into the shared workspace for comparison.

  1. Build the tree

Use a template or draw from scratch. Label branches with taxonomic names and connect them with intelligent diagramming tools. Add images if needed.

  1. Evaluate and refine the tree

Compare with existing trees and refine by adding more data or adjusting models.

  1. Cite and acknowledge

As the final touch, properly cite any data or work that was used when creating the tree. Make sure to acknowledge the contributions of each team member.
