I can imagine there would be consistency between guide tree groups and serotype in some or even most cases but, if you want to group by serotype I am not sure the guide tree is a good proxy. But I know little about serotypes and how they work in various organisms. On Tue, 2016-01-19 at 10:02 -050

Aaron, Could the guide tree be used to group samples within a serotype or would that too be a misinterpretation? -Amarin On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Aaron Darling wrote: > Hi Susan, > > On Tue, 2015-12-08 at 20:05 +, Susan Beth Fogelson wrote: > > Thank you for all of your helpful resp

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
