Box 3226, Khumaltar, Kathmandu, Nepal Abstract: The DNA sequences, morphological and other homologous characters can be used to infer the origins and histories of biological taxa. Combining all the phylogenetic information available can produce more inclusive phylogenies, improve our understanding of living organisms, and enable biologists to prompt and test hypotheses on a larger scale and with stronger statistical power. In this article, the concept of combining phylogenetic information and its comparison with traditional analysis were reviewed. The most popular
