That these visualisations could be dynamic on a time scale, and that you could visualise the biogeographic changes as continents split and collide.Sjurdur Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818782627814807518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-49212629236742532472007-07-21T00:18:00.000+01:002007-07-21T00:18:00.000+01:00Perhaps dreams CAN come true, after all! I've bee...Perhaps dreams CAN come true, after all! I've been dreaming for some years of vizualizing my gene trees on 3D maps, though with one difference. I imagined the map as viewed from below the earth's surface with the gene tree growing up from below to reach the earth's crust. This would be harder to render or visualize, I suppose, but I like the idea of ancestral nodes, like fossils, lying below the earth's surface. Of course you'd lose some interesting features that lie on the 'upper' side of the earth's crust...<BR/><BR/>I hope this program/utility becomes publicly available soon. I can't wait! I am hoping to visualize frog gene trees on maps of Isthmian Central America. (We tried to get GeoPhyloBuilder up & running today, with no success :-(Andrew J.
