Geiger has an interface to pathd8; it has the beginnings of interfaces to other programs, too, but I don't think they're finished yet. Best, Brian ___ Brian O'Meara Associate Professor Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology U. of Tennessee, Knoxville http://ww

Hi Fabian, If the goal is to get an ultrametric tree from your sequences, and not really date the divergences among them, you may consider using a UPGMA tree. Another solution is to use chronoMPL in ape which implements the mean path length method; the advantage of this one is that it takes th

Hi Roger, Fast Solution: use pathd8 or r8s or treePL. Not in R... pathd8 should be the easiest one since you just need a ultrametric tree... 1 sec in parthd8 Cheers, Franz > On 21.09.2015, at 16:21, Fabian Roger wrote: > > hej everyone > > I have a large phylogeny based on 16S RNA OTU data

[R-sig-phylo] using chronos() from the ape package for large bacterial phylogeny

2015-09-21 Thread Fabian Roger
hej everyone I have a large phylogeny based on 16S RNA OTU data (> 7000 OTUs). In order to calculate some metrics of phylogenetic diversity I need to make the tree ultrametric. I thought about using the chronos function from the ape package in R. However I run into two problems: the main pro
