Hi,

I seek your help in converting my species cladogram to a dendrogram for use
as
an external column dendrogram for heirarchical clustering of a heatmap's Y
axis.

My species cladogram *.te file looks as follows, but I wonder if you see
any error(s) in it.

(((((((((((((Mt3.5v5, Mt4.0v1), Car), (((Pvu186, Pvu218), (Gma109,
Gma189)), Cca))), (((Ppe139, Mdo196), Fve226), Csa122)), ((((((((Ath167,
Aly107), Cru183), (Bra197, Tha173)), Cpa113), (Gra221, Tca233)), (Csi154,
(Ccl165, Ccl182))), ((Mes147, Rco119),(Lus200, (Ptr156, Ptr210)))),
Egr201)), Vvi145), ((Stu206, Sly225), Mgu140)), Aco195), (((Sbi79,
Zma181),(Sit164, Pvi202)), (Osa193, Bdi192))), Smo91), Ppa152), (((Cre169,
Vca199), Csu227), ((Mpu228, Mpu229), Olu231)));

I can open it without any error message using Dendroscope tree viewer
software.
But that does not mean that it is error proof.

In R, I can use read.tree or read.newick to open this file
However, plot(mytree) yields an error as follows:


If I collapse the single nodes using
> mytree=collapse.singles(mytree)
plot(mytree) works, but looks totally bizarre with topology that is totally
different from what I get using Dendrogram....

I am at a loss of how to make this species cladogam to dendrogram
conversion working.

I hope someone here can point out my mistake(s) and help me fix them.

Thanks!
