geenipuusta
Geenipuusta is a Finnish term that translates to "gene tree" or "phylogenetic tree." It is a branching diagram that represents the evolutionary relationships among various biological entities. These entities are typically genes, but can also be species, populations, or other taxonomic units. The branches of the tree depict the evolutionary divergences from a common ancestor. The length of the branches can sometimes represent the amount of evolutionary change that has occurred.
The construction of a geenipuusta relies on comparing genetic or molecular data, such as DNA or protein
These trees are fundamental tools in various fields of biology, including evolutionary biology, phylogenetics, population genetics,
