Secondary bootstrapping. Secondary bootstrapping: Secondary pseudo-replicated sequence alignments SPRA i 1, SPRA i 2,..., and SPRA iNs are obtained from the primary sequence alignment PRA i . The trees T i 1, T i 2,..., and T iNs inferred respectively from SPRA i 1, SPRA i 2,..., and SPRA iNs are serving to assess the quality of the phylogenetic tree T i used in primary (i.e., traditional) bootstrapping. A higher value of the average secondary bootstrap score of T i corresponds to its better (secondary) support and is associated with a higher weight.
