A Phylogenetic Tree is a means of mapping an evolutionary progress to a treelike structure. Such a tree could, for example, look like this:

The project is all about writing software which can generate such a tree, by comparing (parts of) DNA from the species involved. The project is an (optional) part of the Mathematics bachelor programme at Utrecht University. It took about 4, 5 months in total, and the supervising teacher was Dhr. Rob Bisseling. Student participants: Evert Hildebrand Hanno Mulder Christian Poot Arjen Vermolen Jasper Valstar Tomas Waals Albert-Jan Yzelman, www, email Casper Zelissen Robin Zeeman
