I am beginning to work with the 'ape' package in R, and have run into
some
trouble. I generated a UPGMA tree based on DNA sequence distance in Paup*
and read it into R, where it became an object of class "phylo".
However, I
need it to be classified as a "dendrogram" for my purposes (to use it
to
order the layout of a heatmap). I get an error using as.hclust.phylo because
the tree is not ultrametric. Is there no way to convert a non-ultrametric
tree of class "phylo" into a "dendrogram"?
With thanks for any help that you may be able to offer,
Matt
