title: A novel integrative phylogenetic analysis system.
abstract: Existing phylogenetic methods cannot realistically model the evolutionary process. It has become a serious issue for real-life applications which demand accurate phylogenetic results. It is desirable to have an integrative approach which can effectively incorporate multi-disciplinary analyses and synthesise results from various sources. A novel integrative and interactive computing system has been developed to address such an issue. We introduce the concept of super-quartet and explain how it is adopted for effective integration of other computational methods to the algorithm during computation &ndash; a key issue of the development of integrative and interactive computing system.
