Diagrams demonstrating calculating the tree length of one site in a nucleotide alignment. Step 1. Demonstrates how the nucleotides at one site in each sequence are assigned to the tips in a phylogeny. Step 2. Demonstrates defining the nucleotide sets at each internal node, as either the union or intersection of the nucleotide sets of the descendent nodes, and calculating the tree length.
