genetree.vector {phybase}R Documentation

Construct gene tree vectors from multiple loci

Description

This function constructs gene tree vectors from gene trees across loci. The gene tree vectors can be used to construct maximum tree by the function maxtree.

Usage

genetree.vector(filenames,outputfile)

Arguments

filenames the gene tree files
outputfile the output file

Value

The function returns a matrix of gene trees. Each row represents a gene tree vector. The gene tree vector consists of trees from multiple gene tree files.
