[Mauve-users] Guide tree question

2015-12-08 Thread Susan Beth Fogelson
Hello, I used progressive mauve to align 32 genomes, which produced a guide tree file. When I opened this file in Geneious the labels on the tree are not my original sequence labels. The new labels just say seq 1, seq 2, seq 3, etc up to seq 32. I was wondering if there is a way to

As far as I know there is no way to have the file/sample names appended to the guide tree. The sequence order is the order in which the files were added in the alignment setup. I've been manually changing the seq names in the guide tree file. If there is another way of doing it I'd love to hear

The vagueness in that file is at least partially intentional -- the tree doesn't have a well-established interpretation outside of being a reflection of the order in which genomes were aligned. I think it would be dangerous to interpret it as a phylogeny, especially as one intended to represent

Thank you for all of your helpful responses. I guess at this point my question changes. I would like to build a phylogenetic tree of this alignment and I assume I need to convert the XMFA file to another format to complete this task. Has anyone had experience with file conversion and what
