Groups of taxa

A group of taxaRH_Taxa is a set of one or more taxa. Members of a group can be specified in the input data file, and created and edited in the Setup Taxa and GroupsHC_Setup_Taxa_Groups_Dlg dialog.

Groups of taxa often are constructed based on their evolutionary relatedness.  For example, sequences may be grouped based on the geographic origin of the source individual, or sequences from a multi-gene family may be arranged into groups consisting of orthologousRH_Orthologous_Genes sequences.
