Complete tutorial on publishable phylogenies

This tutorial summarizes knowledge gained during the Workshop on Molecular Evolution 2009. The workflow includes sequence alignment using MAFFT, phylogenetic analyses using GARLI, RAxML, and MrBayes, and tree visualization with FigTree. The tutorial is in Keynote or PowerPoint format. PowerPoint may run less smooth than Keynote. Some explanations to the slides are given as notes below the slides (Keynote: View > Show Presenter Notes).
