These data sets were used to test the speed of the algorithm and its accuracy.

Simulated data sets:

• 5000 data sets comprising the true 40-taxon trees and the corresponding 500-bp homologous sequences.
• 30 data sets comprising the true 100-taxon trees and the corresponding 500-bp homologous sequences.
• 30 data sets comprising the true 40-taxon trees and the corresponding 500-bp homologous sequences.

Two real data sets:

• RDPII data set (218 taxa, 4182 bp).
• rbcL data set (500 taxa, 1428 bp).
