For just visualizing trees, I'd recommend something like FigTree, which is pretty straightforward and has a nice interface (though limited ability to actually do much with them). It should be able to read files with .tre, .nexus, or .newick extensions (the latter of which is just the... Source: 5 months ago
  • Beginner wanting to build a phylogenetic tree...but not really?
    Again, this is an overall about phylogeny, not knowing how your data looks like I would sugges futher reading, the programs commonly used are: PAUP, MEGA, PHYLIP, TREE-PUZZLE and MrBayes. Options are: FigTree, PRABI and BEAST. Source: over 1 year ago

Then open the summary tree file in your tree viewing software, and find the appropriate menu... Source: almost 3 years ago
