matUtils uncertainty statistics reveal low-quality sample placements. This Auspice view of an example subtree is annotated with both equally parsimonious placements (in color) and neighborhood size (branch label integers). Eighteen of our 23 samples in the subtree have a single placement and a neighborhood size of 0, indicating high placement certainty for those samples. Of the five samples with multiple equally parsimonious placements, one sample has five equally parsimonious placements with an NSS value of 19, indicating a high level of placement uncertainty for this sample spanning a relatively large neighborhood.
