A Phylogenetic tree or Phylogram, sometimes called the ‘Tree of Life’, shows the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities that are believed to have a common ancestor. Each node with descendants represents the most recent common ancestor of the descendants, with edge lengths in our tree, corresponding to time estimates. Each node in a phylogenetic tree is called a taxonomic unit.
This video tutorial explains how to make your own phylogram. Steps include getting Homologene from NCBI website, using EBI clustalW for creating phylogram.
