Figure 1

Example application, showing uncertainty. Pplacer example application using psbA reference sequences and the corresponding recruited Global Ocean Sampling [4] (GOS) sequences showing both number of placements and their uncertainty. Branch thickness is a linear function of the log-transformed number of placements on that edge, and branch color represents average uncertainty (more red implies more uncertain, with yellow denoting EDPL above a user-defined limit). The upper panel shows the Prochlorococcus clade of the tree. The lower panel shows a portion of the tree with substantial uncertainty using the EDPL metric. Placeviz output viewed using Archaeopteryx [32].
