### Phylogenetic Tree Construction

Many diversity metrics used in microbial ecology use phylogenetic relatedness to calculate diversity so we need to build a phlyogenetic tree for those methods to reference. There are many ways to generate phylogenetic trees, however, because we only need these for diversity metrics and they are only using a very small amount of the genome, microbiome scientists tend to use quicker methods of phylogenetic construction.

There are many ways to generate phylogenetic trees, however, because we only need these for diversity metrics and they are only using a very small amount of the genome, microbiome scientists tend to use quicker methods of phylogenetic construction.
There are two generally used methods. One involves creating a phylogenetic tree from scratch. This is typically done using [MAFFT](https://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/) to align sequences and calculate similarity. Other methods have a reference tree and insert the sequences into the reference tree, like using [SEPP](https://github.com/smirarab/sepp/tree/master).
