## What is a collapsible tree?

A collapsible taxonomic tree allows you to collapse or expand nodes as needed.

## Why use a collapsible tree?

This can be useful for figures that show strains or species of interest while hiding those that may be less meaningful or just for viewing the relatedness of the organisms found in your sample.
