Questions about the interpretation of ALE results

[wanxn518]

Hello, ALE team.

Thank you for the great software you have developed, it is very helpful for our research, I am new to phylogenetic problems and have encountered some confusing issues, I sincerely hope that you can give me some suggestions

For the ALEml_undated results I used branchwise_number_of_events.py to count the number of duplicates, transfers, losses, and origins for each branch, and in the first row of the image below, the branch number is shown as 118 for this branch, what does it represent on the species tree? How can I understand the meaning of this number? How can I visualise the species tree using itol, and how can I map it to the branches of the species tree? My impression. The phylogenetic tree has a node id and a tip id, but I'm not sure it represents the tip id

Can you give me any help? Sincere thanks in advance!

Best,
