I've given a talk at a few conferences about my alignment method, BLASR, for aligning reads produced by the Pacific Biosciences RS. Most people like two parts, one where I make fun of mechanical engineers, and another where I show alignment methods related through a phylogeny. Those are the only 2 minutes of the 48 minute talk that anybody remembers. If you want to reproduce the slide, go ahead. The branches and branch lengths are effectively arbitrary.
