Hi Juan.
I'm pretty sure that by ape "phylo" convention all node numbers in
tree$edge are such that all descendants node numbers > ancestor node
numbers. To assign numbers to node labels such that the reverse is true
(and such that node numbers go from 1:tree$Nnode) you can do:
tree$node.label<-tree$Nnode:1
To check, try:
library(phytools)
tree$node.label<-tree$Nnode:1
plotTree(tree,setEnv=TRUE)
nodelabels(tree$node.label)
I think this is what you mean. - Liam

Hello
Sorry for this apparently simple question, but could not find the right
answer on the internet.
For a given phylo object in ape consisting of n tips, how can I assign
unique node numbers from 1 to 2n-1, such that if a node i is ancestral
to a node k, i > k?
Thanks for your attention.
