Discrete ancestral character estimation

  • Anna has a phylogenetic tree in newick, nexus, nexml or phyloxml format

  • Anna has a table of multiple discrete trait data for the taxa present in the tree in cvs, nexus, tabulated or excel format.

  • For some traits, the data for some species are missing.

Phase 1

  • Anna wants to load the tree file in newick or nexus format

  • Anna wants to load the data table in csv or nexus format

  • Anna wants to combine the tree and the data

  • Anna wants to automatically match the taxa names in the table to the taxa names in the tree

  • Anna wants to be able to review and modify the matches

  • Anna wants to know the proportional likelihoods of the different states of a discrete trait at the internal nodes of the tree

  • Anna wants to be able to download the computed likelihoods

  • Anna needs a way to match the likelihoods to the internal nodes

  • Anna wants to visualize the likelihoods on her tree

  • Anna wants to estimate the rate of evolution of that trait and the associate measure of uncertainty

  • Anna wants to obtain a likelihood for her model

  • Anna wants to repeat the same analysis with a different starting parameter

Phase 2

  • Anna wants to load the data table in txt or excel format

  • Anna wants to select which characters to analyze

  • Anna wants to visualize the distribution of the traits on the taxa in the tree

  • Anna wants the tree and data matching to be more flexible

  • Anna wants to visualize larger trees, modify them and download them for presentations and publications.

  • Anna wants to be able to visualize more than one character at the time

  • Anna wants to add continuous data to her analysis

  • Anna wants to estimate multiple rates

  • Anna wants to define the evolutionary rate matrix
