Phylogenetics is the experimental examination of phylogeny. Phylogeny relate to the evolutionary past of a taxonomic group of organisms. So, phylogenetics is usually distressed with the liaison of an organism to other organisms according to evolutionary comparison and differences. Phylogenetics, accordingly, is a part of the biological systematics, which has an immense scope. Later associates not only with the phylogenetics of organisms but also the description and classification of organisms. It is similarly linked to taxonomy, which is a branch of science anxious in finding, describing, classifying, and designate organisms, including the examination of the relationships between taxa and the principles underlying such as classification. Phylogenetics provides information to taxonomy when it comes to classification and identification of organisms. In phylogenetics, DNA sequencing methods are used to analyze the observable heritable traits. It also makes use of a phylogenetic tree which is a diagram to show the hypothetical evolutionary histories and relationships of groups of organisms based on the phylogenies of different biological species. The phylogenetic tree has been used to understand biodiversity, genetics, evolutions, and ecology of organisms. The basics of how to build a reliable phylogenetic tree are explained along with information about programs and tools that can be used for this purpose.
