Hi Santiago,
it is possible to extract the information for the root for the sankoff
algorithm in the phangorn package (this is for discrete characters).
I'll added a function called pace, which will do the job. Of course
maximum parsimony will not provide unique solutions, but several
characters

Hi Sam, Santiago,
To be clear, this procedure yields the squared-change parsimony
ancestral states for a continuous character (see Maddison, 1991; Syst.
Zool.). This will not provide MP ancestral state estimates for a
discrete character, if this is
Hi Santiago,
Look at the ace function in the Ape package - to get a max parsimony
reconstruction set branch lengths =1 and run a maximum likelihood
estimation. You can find further information here: http://www.r-phylo.org/wiki/HowTo/Ancestral_State_Reconstruction
