All 'marked species' (see ´Glossary´) are positioned according to maximum parsimony criteria. The current tree topology is not changed.
NOTES
The current parsimony value (number of base changes needed) is displayed after the 'Current Par' prompt in the upper part of the 'ARB_PARSIMONY' window and the 'Message' window (pops up while calculating).
This tool should be used for the positioning of 'species' for which only partial or preliminary sequence data are available.
EXAMPLES
None
WARNINGS
The phylogenetic information conferred by the new sequence(s) is not used for global tree optimization.
