Abstract: Biology textbooks usually contain a two part workflow to
reconstruct the phylogenetic history of biological sequences: First,
align the sequences and then use a maximum likelihood approach to
find the best tree. This method worked well for many years but has
become less useful as the number of sequenced genomes grew rapidly
and made existing workflows computationally unfeasible. To mitigate
this problem so-called alignment-free methods have been devised that
quickly estimate phylogenies from unaligned sequences at reasonable
accuracy. This document explains how to use one of these tools,
phylonium, for phylogeny reconstruction.
