From TNT

I have run max likl. analysis with GARLI. How do I load the resulting trees into TNT in order to get bootstrap support? I have 384 taxa with 1500 DNA characters.

• What format are the trees in Garli in? And your matrix, is it NExus? You would have to first convert the trees, then convert the matrix (see conversion using PAUP), then load the matrix first, then the trees in TNT. From there you could use the concensus options. My guess is however that you can do everything you want in PAUP without having to do the conversions to TNTs format.

Tree file with branch lengths

How can I export a nexus or newick tree file with branch lenghts?

Thanks! Jared

• I looked at this link [1] but it just outputs the tree to the screen. How can I export a tree with the branch lengths?

Bremer support in TNT

I am getting a 0 Bremer support value for a node in my analysis. Since this node is present in all MPTs, and therefore the strict consensus, it must have a Bremer support value of greater than 0 (1 minimum). Is this something to do with how TNT calculates Bremer support values?

• How have you done the bremer calulations? Are you sure that the group is in fact supported in all the MPTs? Have you collapse them before?
