I have...I want...How to
A list of species names A tree containing only those species On the query page, paste the species list (comma separated) into the box and press the "get tree" button.
A tree containing those species, plus all others in the same clade On the query page, paste the species list (comma separated) into the box. Uncheck the "prune results" box, and press the "get tree" button.
Two species names Distance from those species to their most recent common ancestor On the query page, paste the species list (comma separated) into the box and press the "get tree" button. With the "prune results" box checked, you'll get back a tree containing only the two species and their common ancestor.
The name of a higher taxon (genus, family, etc.) A tree containing all members of that taxon On the query page, enter the taxon name into the box. Uncheck the "prune results" box, and press the "get tree" button.
A list of higher taxa (genus, family, etc.) A tree PhyloCommons supports higher taxon matching. Follow the instructions above for the type of tree you want, substituting the names of the higher taxa for species names.
A list of taxa containing common names or synonyms A tree PhyloCommons can match synonyms, common names, common mispellings, etc. using a taxonomy. By default the NCBI taxonomy is used; this can be changed under "advanced options" on the query page. Follow the instructions above for the type of tree you want.
