+"The online software takes your list of taxa, and first tries to match them by genus name to the megatree. 
+	
+Failing that, they are attached by family name. If all the genera appear in the megatree, then that family appears resolved. 
+	
+If even one genus is missing from the megatree, the returned phylogeny portrays a polytomy of genera. 
+	
+Currently, species are not included in the megatree, and species within a genus are always returned as polytomies.

+Galaxy and Perl wrapper tool implemented by: Roger Ngo and Todd H. Oakley, UCSB
+
+Included in this package:
+
+* phylomatic - binary file
+* phylomatic.pl - wrapper perl script for Galaxy
+* phylomatic.xml - Galaxy tool file
+* phylomatic_README.txt - documentation file
+
+Installation instruction:
+
+1. Copy the phylomatic binary file to the /bin/ directory of your Galaxy
+user account.
+
+2. Copy phylomatic.pl and phylomatic.xml to a folder in the /galaxy-dist/tools/
+directory.
+
+3. Add the XML information in tool_conf.xml in /galaxy-dist/
+
+4. Restart Galaxy using:
+
+./run.sh --stop-daemon
+./run.sh --reload --daemon
+
+Known Issues:
+Since Galaxy will throw STDERR on warnings generated by programs, the Perl wrappper
+script is used to redirect any warnings generated by the binary file to a log file.
