A phytree object is a data structure containing a phylogenetic tree. Phylogenetic trees are binary rooted trees, which means that each branch is the parent of two other branches, two leaves, or one branch and one leaf. A phytree object can be ultrametric or nonultrametric.
Following are methods of a phytree object:
| cluster (phytree) | Validate clusters in phylogenetic tree |
| get (phytree) | Retrieve information about phylogenetic tree object |
| getbyname (phytree) | Branches and leaves from phytree object |
| getcanonical (phytree) | Calculate canonical form of phylogenetic tree |
| getmatrix (phytree) | Convert phytree object into relationship matrix |
| getnewickstr (phytree) | Create Newick-formatted string |
| pdist (phytree) | Calculate pairwise patristic distances in phytree object |
| plot (phytree) | Draw phylogenetic tree |
| prune (phytree) | Remove branch nodes from phylogenetic tree |
| reorder (phytree) | Reorder leaves of phylogenetic tree |
| reroot (phytree) | Change root of phylogenetic tree |
| select (phytree) | Select tree branches and leaves in phytree object |
| subtree (phytree) | Extract phylogenetic subtree |
| view (phytree) | View phylogenetic tree |
| weights (phytree) | Calculate weights for phylogenetic tree |
Note You cannot modify these properties directly. You can access these properties using the get method. |
