similar to: ape 1.0 is on CRAN

Ape is an R package for "analyses of phylogenetics and evolution". The first version (0.1) has been released on 27 August 2002 and is available on CRAN. >From the 'Description' file of version 0.1: Ape provides functions for reading, and plotting phylogenetic trees in parenthetic format (standard Newick format), analyses of comparative data in a

Hello, I am trying to carry out a phylogenetic autoregression to test whether my data show a phylogenetic signal, but I keep calculating bizzare R-squared values. My script is: > library(ape) > x <-

Hi, I'm trying to build a mixed-effects model in which I'd like to include either a distance matrix or a phylogenetic tree as a random effect. The troubles I've had are that: 1. Function lmer() in package lme4 only accepts a data frame column as a random factor and not a distance matrix. 2. Function MCMCglmm() in package MCMCglmm only accepts a rooted and ultrametric phylogenetic

Dear all, I wanted to let you know about four phylogenetic comparative methods (PCM) packages that have become available on (3 on CRAN and 1 on GitHub) recently that hopefully will be interesting to somebody. Three of them go significantly beyond the Brownian motion (BM) and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes. 1) There is a new version of mvSLOUCH available. The most important change is that the

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

Hello, I've been trying to figure out how to access the individual elements from an object of class phylo. I am reading in 201 trees created by paup as below. > read.nexus("A_30knj_200t.txt", tree.names= NULL) -> anj30 > anj30[1] $tree1 $edge [,1] [,2] [1,] "-1" "-2" [2,] "-2" "-3" [3,] "-3" "1"

Having a problem running the ace command in ape. After reading my table into R and then putting the names of the rows in the table in same order as the tree I can't get ace to run and get the message Erreur dans as.matrix(x) : dims [produit 25] ne correspond pas ? la longueur de l'objet [0] This is the command I am using and each of the vectors used in the snalysis.

Hi, I'm doing hierarchical clustering, and want to export my dendrogram to a tree-viewing/editing software. I can do this by converting the data to Newick format (hc2Newick in ctc package), but I can't get branch lengths to show in the resulting phylogram. I figured it might help to convert my hclust object into a phylo object (as.phylo in ape package), but the following lines give me

Hi, I'm very much enjoying using the ape package to produce phylogenetic trees with colored branches (using edge.color). Is it also possible to specify that some branches should be drawn as dotted lines? That would be really useful. I've tried messing around with edge.width, but that doesn't seem to help me get dotted lines. thanks, Janet Young

Hi, I was recently splitting some massive phylo class objects with extract.clade() and noticed what appears to be a bug in how tip labels are copied from the full tree to the pruned tree. This possible bug was also mentioned here: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo at r-project.org/msg00537.html An example: library(ape) set.seed(5) x <- matrix(rnorm(100), ncol=10) p <-

Dear All, I get some problems using the 'phylo' and dissimilarity functions in R. I converted an output from 'hclust' into an order of phylo so as to be able to use the 'consensus' function on it. Each time I submit the consensus codes, my computer hangs. When I tried to see what the contents of the object converted into order phylo is, I get the message

Dear R-helpers, Christoph (author of phyloclim) and Luke (author of tkrplot), I would like to get your helps on installing of phyloclim in Ubuntu linux. It seems a package named 'tkrplot' could not be installed at firstly, then packages depends on it could not be installed latter. As I have tested, installation of phyloclim works smoothly in Mac. I attempted to install these packages in

Take a look at lmekin() in the coxme package. The motivating data set for my development of coxme was the Minnesota Family Breast Cancer project: 24050 subjects in 462 families. The random effect is an intercept per subject with sigma^2 K as its variance where K is the kinship matrix (1 for self-self, .5 for parent-child or sib-sib, .25 for uncle-neice, etc). lmekin is a linear models front

I am having trouble displaying a dendrogram of evolutionary relationships (a phylogram imported from the ape package) as the vertical component of a heatmap, but keeping the hierarchical clustering of the horizontal component. The relationships of the vertical component in the generated heatmap are not that of the dendrogram, although the ordering is. In more detail, I am attempting to generate

Dear all, Does anyone know how can one loop through the newick phylogenetic trees stored in a nexus file and generate an "average" skyline plot with coalescent intervals? I have managed to generate the plot with one tree, but is it possible to create that "consensus/average" plot in R? tr<-"((((8.1:0, 20.1:0):0, 6.1:3):123, (((((35.1:0, (22.1:0, (43.1:1,

Hi, I've been investigating the ape package for a while, and I was wondering if it is possible to: - display the names of the internal nodes (from a newick tree) - plot a pie-chart on top of each of the internal branches in a phylogram plot Thanks in advance, Cheers, Albert.

Dear all, I don't understand the following behaviour: Running compar.gee (in library ape ) with and without the option 'data', it give me different results Example: .... Start R .... > load("eiber.RData") > ls() [1] "gee.na" "mydata" "mytree" > library(ape) > # runnig with the option data= mydata > compar.gee(alt ~ R,

Hello, I am trying to import a phylogenetic tree from Mesquite into R. When I use the read.nexus command I get the following message: Warning message: In matrix(x, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE) : data length [589] is not a sub-multiple or multiple of the number of rows [295] A phylo object is created but I am unable to plot it (when I try R freezes) and I can tell by looking at the tip labels that

Dear all, I was testing the wonderful package APE. However upon testing a particular Newick's format tree - which I think to be a non-binary tree - it yields different result as expected. > library(ape) > tree.hiv <- read.tree(text="(rat,mouse,(human,chimp));") > is.binary.tree(tree.hiv) [1] TRUE Was that a bug in APE package? - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia
