[R-sig-phylo] Distance matrix from phylogeny

Hi folks, I have phylogeny with absolute branch lengths in million years. How do I get a distance matrix with values between 0 and 1? Best, Eugen ___ R-sig-phylo mailing list - R-sig-phylo@r-project.org

Re: [R-sig-phylo] Distance matrix from phylogeny

Hi Eugen, to compute a distance matrix from a phylogeny, you can use the cophenetic.phylo function in {ape}. You then have to rescale all distances in you matrix (which are expressed in million years) by the total depth of the tree: dist=cophenetic.phylo(tree) dist2=dist/max(dist) Best,
