Hola Juan.

findMRCA takes the tip labels - not the tip numbers (if I remember correctly). That means that the vector tips should be a vector of class 'character'. So, even if your tip labels are 16 & 17, this should be tips=c("16","17"). I'm not sure that this is your problem - but it might be.

All the best, Liam

Hello
I am using the function findMRCA of phytools. I tried it with a
simulated tree and it worked as it should. Now I want to use it with a
real tree but get an odd error message:

findMRCA(TreeP, tips= c(16, 17))
Error in if (anc == 0) break : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed


This is the info about TreeP:

summary(TreeP)

Phylogenetic tree: TreeP

   Number of tips: 17
   Number of nodes: 16
   Branch lengths:
     mean: 0.05285941
     variance: 0.001793694
     distribution summary:
     Min.  1st Qu.   Median  3rd Qu.     Max.
0.000001 0.013200 0.036010 0.084470 0.143000
   No root edge.
   First ten tip labels: Tbar

                         Gact
                         Gpero

                         Gset
                         Gcha
   No node labels.


Any help will be much appreciated.
