ClustalX's NJ Plot explanation? - DND.gif (0/1)

[Asteras Amaliadas]

Hi there,

I used ClustalX to do multiple alignment of a few proteins. NJ Plot (a
program which is distributed with ClustalX) produced the attached
tree. I would be indebted if you could explain to me what the
distances of the branches mean (what is this 0.05?) or if you could
point out a relevant reference.

Thank you in advance,

Ioannis
