General information
The web implementation of the phylogenetic targeting program (PhyloTargeting) provides info boxes that briefly explain the most important aspects of the approach. Furthermore, we provide more detailed explanations and instructions in the manual as well as additional documents that describe the phylogenetic targeting approach (Diploma thesis of Christian Arnold and the official publication). For new users, we provide a downloadable example dataset that can be used to examine the structure of the NEXUS file (which is identical to the example dataset that can be loaded in step 1 of the web implementation).
