Comments and Suggestions:
  • Species Tree - the branches are not aligned. The team will look at rendering a different image.

  • Gene Tree – is there a way to build a legend to show the meaning of the colors?

  • Todd suggested showing the Fat Tree first then breaking down into smaller bits. It was also suggested to change the Fat Tree name to a version of Reconciled/Reconciliation

  • Add the option of rendering in black and white or color.

  • TV group will discuss with Sheldon what the priorities are for the next step.

  • Goal is limited release by early November 2010.
