I have several questions about PHYLIP and PAUP:
1. If the PHYLIP SEQBOOT-DNAPARS-CONSENSE is run an <<outfile.>> contains
bootstrap values. If the PAUP (integrated to GCG 9.1) Paupsearch(brep=3D100=
0,
branch and bound, parsimony) is run how one can find bootstrap values for
phylogenetic grouping? Or, a more general question: Is PAUP providing any
statistical support for the phylogenetic clusters it is producing?
2. If I draw(gram) a Consense tree from PHYLIP it doesn=92t have any sense.
However, if I have used SEQBOOT-DNADIST-NEIGHBOR and than rearranged a neig=
hbor
<<treefile.>> with the Retree (midpoint rooting) the resulting tree has a l=
ot
of sense. The question is if I can transfer bootstrap values from a consens=
e
tree (SEQBOOT-DNADIST NEIGHBOR-CONSENSE) to a retreeted neighbor tree?
