## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_PARRSIMONY/Tree/Add species to tree

## DESCRIPTION

### Use this to add partial sequences into an existing tree.

## NOTES

### The branchlengths of the added partial sequences represent the number of mutations against the full sequence.

### Adding species using this function marks them as "partial sequence" if they have no 'ARB_partial' entry yet. Otherwise insertion is aborted.

### All species already in tree are marked as "full sequence" if they have no 'ARB_partial' entry yet.

## EXAMPLES

### None

## WARNINGS

### Calculating branch length after adding partial sequences will lead to wrong lengths.

## BUGS

### No bugs known
