Re: [R-sig-phylo] problem with drop.tip

2013-02-28 Thread Klaus Schliep
Dear John, can you please be a bit more specific with your error message. It is always good to have a reproducible example, e.g. adding a tree which where drop.tip fails, and to run traceback() just after the error to get more information where the error occurred. It is also useful to add

Hi John, It seems a problem occurs within write.tree and not with the pruning. So try prune the trees first and then write them out. tr2=vector(list, 1000) for(i in 1:1000){ tr2[[i]] - drop.tip(tr[[i]],tr[[i]]$tip.label[-match(taxa, tr[[i]]$tip.label)]) } class(tr2) = multiPhylo plot(tr2) for(i

[R-sig-phylo] R Dendrograms for Subclones in a Somatic Cell Population: Time Interval Sampling.

Estimating Ongoing Evolution by Repeated Sampling with Long Time Intervals. Is there a way to construct dendrograms similar to those used in phylogenetics but with 2 main differences: (1) Instead of observing at one time, small samples from a very large population are taken at regular

An old parsimony-based approach to this is known as stratocladistics. There are no R implementations, as far as I know, but you could wrap phangorn to do this, I imagine, though it does require writing a new function. Pseudocode: #my.taxa.vector is character vector of tips best.phy -
