This page is intended to be an annex to the paper of Philippe et al. You will find here additional information on the methods that were used, as well as more detailed figures and tables.

Table 1 extended: number of variable positions and alpha parameter for all rRNA available sequences.
Table 2: the whole set of indices for all the trees of the paper, and an explanation of our symmetry index.
All the data sets that were used are avalaible for download in NEXUS format.
All the consensus trees are available for download. These include trees for EF-1alpha, alpha-tubulin, complete small subunit RNA and tranversion-only small subunit RNA. For each marker, a consensus is given for the complete data set and for thresholds from 0 to 7 of the S-F method. As opposed to those presented in the paper, taxon names and accession numbers are displayed.

Trees are given in a very common format. Most tree viewers can read them, but if you don't have one, you can use Roderic Page's TreeView for Windows.
