Before we had access to Ranger it would take weeks and months to run. Ranger does the same analyses in hours.

So it's been a very powerful tool to give us quick ideas about how different strains are related to each other.

With Ranger we can redirect our time away from just finding the best tree for a dataset towards asking how different that best tree is from
