Dear all, The version 1.0 of ape (analysis of phylogenetics and evolution) is now on CRAN. The jump from version 0.2-1 to 1.0 is explained by the fact that the initial objectives of the project have been completed. The relevant part of the Changes file is shown below. All comments, suggestions, or bug reports are welcome. Emmanuel Paradis CHANGES IN APE VERSION 1.0 NEW FEATURES

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 <-

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.

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

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

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,

Hi all, I seem to be having a difficult time using the 'ape' package in R when it comes to rooting trees. Here's a short screenshot: > nirK.tree Phylogenetic tree with 23 tips and 21 internal nodes. Tip labels: Burkholder, Burkholde3, Burkholde1, Burkholde4, Burkholde5, Ralstonia2, ... Node labels: , 100, 100, 100, 70, 91,... Unooted; includes branch lengths. >

Dear all, I'm using the "ape" package in R and want to draw a phylogenetic tree with not only the tip labels but also some labels for the edges. e.g. Mark the edge AB as "m" in the tree ABC. Couldn't find a way to do that. Can someone help? Thanks, Hua

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 <-

Hi, I am trying to work with the ape package, and there is one thing I am struggling with. When calling the *read.GenBank()* function, I can get it to work with an object created like this: *>x <- c("AY395554","AY611035", ...)* *>read.GenBank(x)* However, I am trying to use the function to fetch several hundred sequences at once. So I have been testing with small

Hello all, I'm now working with hclust objects and was hoping to perform some basic editing on them like: - Joining = the merging of two hclust objects (so they will share one root) - Splicing = So to cut/extract a branch out of an hclust object - that by itself will be an hclust object. I noticed I could extract one element of an hclust object by turning it into a dendrogram,

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

I've been comparing variables among objects (taxa) related by known trees, using phylogentically independent contrasts in the ape package, and want to move on to more complex models e.g. by using gls with appropriate correlation terms. My trees contain lots of (hard) polytomies and information about ancestors, which I've been including- creating fully dichotomous trees by using zero branch

Hello, The following code does'nt work for me. The last command reports an error. I have created a consensus tree using the consensus comand from phylo but cannot manipulate the phylo object afterwards to create a dendogram , by transforming the phylo object into a hclust object and then into a dendogram ?? Thanks for any help library(ade4) library(cluster) library(stats) library(ape)

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

Hi, Using Ape, I have constructed an object of class "phylo", using the method 'nj' (lets call the object 'tree_ja'). I also have a given subset of 'tree_ja' in a vector (lets call the vector 'subspecies'). What I want to do, is construct a nj tree - plot(tree_ja) - but have the species in vector 'subspecies' shown as red at the tips of the

Hi, I am making some DNA distances and I would like to use dist.dna as matrix in R, but this command does not include models like GTR... Is there some command or alternative using dist.dna in ape package for models not included like GTR? I would appreciate any help given Thank you very much, Ignacio Quintero Laboratorio de biología evolutiva de vertebrados (Evolvert) Departamento de Ciencias

Let's say I would like to look inside the function corBrownian in library (ape). When I type in the function name I get the following, which is not nearly the detail that goes into this function. I am wondering how to begin cracking this function open (and others) so I can learn more about it and perhaps code my own corClass one day. Thanks. > corBrownian function (value = 1, phy, form

Hi I am looking for a package that 1. reads in a phylogenetic tree in NEXUS format 2. given two members/nodes on the tree, can return the distance between the two using the tree. I came across the following packages on CRAN ouch, ape, apTreeShape, phylgr all of which seem to provide extensive range of functions for reading in a Nexus-format tree and performing phylogenetic analyses, tree
