  * The OTU (Operational Taxonomic Unit) perspective is an important use-case. 
   * Gene tree analysis: splitting a given a set of trees into subsets of trees as a function of compatibility to a given (set of) species tree(s).  
-  * Gene tree analysis: similar to the Zmasek et al (2007) paper, one may want to build alignments and phylogenetic trees for all ortholog families of a  gene family, or a pathway. After loading the trees into a database, one could then query the database for those gene trees that support a certain species phylogeny, for example the Ecdysizoan hypothesis.

    * Problem: the query topology will be given with either gene name labels, or species name labels, but the labels of the trees will be OTUs.
    * Hence, each OTU needs to be linked to the gene name(s) and taxon names, and it needs to be possible to specify that matching tree nodes use the linked taxon or gene names.
