# Compare tree topologies OCCURRENCE DESCRIPTION NOTES EXAMPLES WARNINGS BUGS ## OCCURRENCE
### ARB_NT/Tree/Tree admin/Compare topology
## DESCRIPTION
### Compares the topologies of the source and the destination tree. ### For each subtree of the destination tree, the best matching subtree in the source tree is searched. ### If any source subtree contains the same set of species (while disregarding the subtree topology itself), the destination subtree parent branch will not get any annotation. ### Otherwise the number of differences (i.e. the number of missing plus additional species) to the best matching source subtree is written to the destination subtree parent branch.
## NOTES
### To remove the generated annotations use ´Remove/toggle bootstrap values´.
## EXAMPLES
### None
## WARNINGS
### Calling this function will delete existing bootstrap values from the destination tree.
## BUGS
### far too slow :-(
