Dear Sarah, ultrametric means that each tip of a tree has the same distance from the root. hclust - upgma is a "average linkage" - always produces such trees. There is quite some irony that in phylogenetic reconstruction often non-ultrametric methods are preferred, even though the time to the las

Dear all, I've stumbled upon a phylogeny problem I can't seem to solve with R, and I'm hoping that someone could help me with that. I have two datasets of the same samples: one with a few specific gene sequences and one with expression data for a huge set of genes (almost 3000). I want to creat
