Dear All Sorry to mass email with what could be a very basic question. I am trying to generate a tree for 1000 plus species. To reduce the search effort I first generated a tree to genus level from NCBI Itol with the intention of adding species branches to each genus after. Doing this manually has invariably proved challenging as it's difficult to locate and solve all the sources of human error that creep in when manual editing. Is there a function in R that can do this? Say something that matches the genus in the species name to the genus tip on the tree, and adds branches accordingly? It is not my intention that the tree be based on divergence times, this isn't feasible given the number and order of species I am working with, hence the reason for using the NCBI taxonomy.
Any help is much appreciated cheers Tom _______________________________________________ R-sig-phylo mailing list R-sig-phylo@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-phylo
