Phylogenetic trees, also known as phylogenies, represent the evolutionary history of sets of species. The construction of such trees is an attempt to understand the origin of life. Phylogenies have several practical uses. For instance, they offer biologists a tool to predict gene function, by comparing and leveraging information among species related by evolution. They also help to track changes in rapidly developing organisms such as viruses or cancer cells.
