## NAME

ParsInsert - Parsimonious Insertion of unclassified sequences into phylogenetic tree

## DESCRIPTION

**parsinsert \[options\]  \<insert\_sequences\>**

Perform Insertion of Sequences into Given Tree

**-m** \<mask file\>           - read mask from this file

- **-s** \<tree sequences\> - read core tree sequences from this file

  (default: PI\_Tree.fasta)

- **-t** \<tree file\> - read core tree from this file

  (default: PI\_Tree.tree)
