Scott,

readNexus (phylobase) can read your tree but not read.nexus (ape). The problem is the two lines inserted within the TREES block:

BEGIN TREES;
TITLE Tb10793;         <<<<<<
LINK TAXA = M4787;     <<<<<<
TREE Fig._3c = [&R]

If you delete them, it's OK. FigTree also cannot read this file.

Cheers,

Emmanuel

Hi Scott,

  Which version of phylobase are you using and which architecture? I can
read the file on my machine.

  Cheers,

Hello,

I can't get read.nexus (ape) or readNexus (phylobase) to read nexus files
downloaded from treebase with URLs parsed from xml files. I can't manually
edit each file as I want to read a lot of these files. Is there an easy fix?
One of the files is copied below.

Thanks!
