[Genome] Branch length of phylogenetic tree

[Robert Kuhn]

dear Thomas,

This is from our makedoc for the 15way Conservation:

#TREE:
(((((((((dm2:0.032478,(droSim1:0.017650,droSec1:0.015740):0.017736):0.026088,(droYak2:0.058116,droEre2:0.055952):0.031922):0.084953,droAna3:0.218988):0.051563,(dp4:0.013624,droPer1:0.015374):0.210705):0.046101,droWil1:0.292357):0.019351,((droVir3:0.109131,droMoj3:0.142623):0.047595,droGri2:0.154583):0.189999):0.113599,anoGam1:0.357817):0.092848,apiMel2:0.386309):0.169225,triCas2:0.169225);
