Being able to identify those branches quickly helps to find those sequences. The programs allows to mark all species having an extra long branch compared to it's nearest neighbour. NOTES Play around and try different numbers. BUGS The program does not show all extra long branches because then the output won't be user readable. So after fixing the alignment of sequences and recalculating the branch lengths, there might be new sequences with extra long branches.
