TreeFam

Okay kiddo, imagine there are many different animals out there, right? Some are similar to each other and some are very different. Just like there are many kinds of animals, there are many kinds of genes.

Now, scientists use a special tool called TreeFam to study the relationships between genes. TreeFam helps them figure out which genes are related to each other and how they evolved over time.

Think of TreeFam like a family tree. Just like you have a family tree that shows how your ancestors are related to you, TreeFam shows how different genes are related to each other.

Scientists can use TreeFam to study how genes change over time, how they are inherited, and how they help different animals adapt to their environments.

So, in short, TreeFam is like a big family tree for genes that helps scientists learn about how they evolved and how they are related to each other.
