COMMENTS
Binary tanglegrams are pairs of bifurcating (degree 3 internal node) trees with a bijection between the leaves of the trees. Two tanglegrams are isomorphic if there is an isomorphism between the trees that preserves the bijection. Unrooted means that the tanglegram is composed of unrooted trees, and unordered means that two tanglegrams that differ by exchanging the trees and inverting the bijection are considered identical.
