Rooting Phylogenetic Trees

Rooting Phylogenetic Trees is a methodological procedure in microbial phylogenetics that identifies the most recent common ancestor of a set of taxa by designating a specific node as the root, thereby polarizing evolutionary relationships and establishing the direction of character change along the branches of the tree.
