How should I interpret the number of gene family expansions and contractions at each node? Are these numbers relative to the ancestral node or compared to the parent node? Could you provide an example? |

They are relative to the parent, not the root, if I understand your question correctly, So if it looked like
There is an expansion of 5 from the root to the internal, and a total of 13 from the root to the tip. |
