The term phylogeny refers to the progression or historical development of a plant, animal, or microbial species, the tracing of such similar group having a common ancestor. Thus phylogenetic tree is a visual graphical representation of the evolutionary relationship between different organisms, showing the path through evolutionary time from a common ancestor to different descendants. Similarities and divergence among related biological sequences revealed by sequence alignment often have to be rationalized and visualized in the context of phylogenetic trees. But with the development and use of computational and an array of bioinformatics tools, the ability to analyze large data sets in practical computing times and yielding an optimal or near-optimal solutions with high probability are being possible.
