The term sister group is used in phylogenetic analysis, however, only groups identified in the analysis are labeled as "sister groups".. An example is birds, whose commonly cited living sister group is the crocodiles, but that is true only when discussing extant organisms; [3] [4] when other, extinct groups are considered, the relationship between birds and crocodiles appears distant.
Some sequence analysis programs such as the ClustalW alignment program can write data files in the PHYLIP format. Most of the programs look for the data in a file called infile. If the phylip programs do not find this file, they then ask the user to type in the file name of the data file. [2]
Find the pair of distinct taxa i and j (i.e. with ) for which (,) is smallest. Make a new node that joins the taxa i and j, and connect the new node to the central node. For example, in part (B) of the figure at right, node u is created to join f and g.
Phylogenetic trees generated by computational phylogenetics can be either rooted or unrooted depending on the input data and the algorithm used. A rooted tree is a directed graph that explicitly identifies a most recent common ancestor (MRCA), [citation needed] usually an inputed sequence that is not represented in the input.
Phylogenetic nomenclature is a method of nomenclature for taxa in biology that uses phylogenetic definitions for taxon names as explained below. This contrasts with the traditional method, by which taxon names are defined by a type, which can be a specimen or a taxon of lower rank, and a description in words. [1]

Gnathifera is a member of Spiralia. It is the sister taxon of a clade comprising all other spiralians. [1] [19] An alternative phylogeny place Gnathifera into a main spiralian clade Platyzoa s.l. as sister clade to Mesozoa and Platyhelminthes. [21]
(For example, the International Plant Names Index regularly has multiple identifiers for a taxon name, often but not always of the form N-1, N-2, etc.) Taxon identifiers enable researchers to search more easily for pertinent information on the subject of an article, without needing to disambiguate the subject manually.
