Defining Species and Populations

Beginning with MEGA7, it is possible to write command statements in .meg files for grouping taxa into species and populations as well as groups. The syntax for adding species, group, or population specification for a taxon is:

_{group.groupName;species.speciesName;population.populationName}

Examples:

#human_hemoglobin_subunit_alpha{species.homo_sapiens}

#gag_specimen1_{species.homo_sapiens;population.european}

#gorilla_HBA1_{group.primates}
