MEGA includes a Caption Expert system that provides the ability to generate detailed, publication-quality captions from analysis results. The Caption Expert system is available for every type of analysis result that can be generated using MEGA (distance matrix, phylogeny, tests, etc). When invoked, the Caption Expert system will analyze the properties of the analysis results and provide a caption title followed by a detailed explanation of the analysis results. The caption text will reveal the properties of the data that underwent the analysis as well as the assumptions and parameters relevant to the computational methods that were employed. In some cases a data table will be included in the output. The resulting caption text is displayed in its own window allowing it to be printed directly, or copied and pasted into external applications such as MicrosoftÒ Word or PowerPoint.
