 # LINtree
 
-_LINtree_ is a command line tool written in [Java](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/) to infer prefix trees with branch lengths from sets of Life Identification Number (LIN) codes (Vinatzer et al. 2017; Tian et al. 2020).
+_LINtree_ is a command line tool written in [Java](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/) to infer prefix trees with branch lengths from sets of Life Identification Number (LIN) codes (Marakeby et al. 2014; Vinatzer et al. 2017; Tian et al. 2020).
 Such LIN-based prefix trees are very useful to reflect the (phylogenetic) relationships among the encoded genomes (e.g. Hennart et al. 2022).
