award ceremony, and I just approved the 750th subscriber to the list. 
Congratulations to HS in Alaska who wins a free subscription to MORPHMET.

Re: [MORPHMET] how create nexux file for phylogeny in MorphoJ

[Carmelo Fruciano]

Dear Alaettin,
to my knowledge, MorphoJ does NOT perform cluster analysis (have a  
look at  
http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_guide/frameset.htm?comparison/mapPhylo.htm  
).


Nexus files are reflective of a phylogenetic hypothesis and are  
normally obtained from programs that use methods of phylogenetic  
inference.
If one had a specific phylogenetic hypothesis in mind, one could also  
create the Nexus file by hand (i.e. in a text editor such as Notepad  
in Windows) following the format (of which there are some variants).

A formal description of the format can be found in
Maddison et al. 1997 Systematic Biology 46(4):590-621. (you can freely  
access the paper at http://www.phylo.org/tools/nexus_document.pdf ).
Various primers on the format are also available online (for instance  
at  
http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/eebedia/index.php/Phylogenetics:_NEXUS_Format  
).
In this case, you might want to know that trees are encoded in the  
Newick format (which is described, for instance, at  
http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/newicktree.html )


I hope this helps,
Carmelo
