5. Visualizing a Phylogenetic Network

Phylogenetic network in Rich Newick string can be visualized in Dendroscope. However, Dendroscope can not recognize inheritance probabilities (branch lengths and supports are fine). You have to remove those probabilities manually from the Rich Newick string. For example, the following network is what PhyloNet returns when the input NEXUS file InferringNetworkMP is used:

Code Block
((((((Skud,(Sbay)#H1:::0.36082474226804123),((Spar,Scer),Smik)),#H1:::0.6391752577319587),Scas),Sklu),Calb);

In order to visualize this phylogenetic network in Dendroscope, please remove the inheritance probabilities like follows, and Dendroscope will be able to read it.

Code Block
((((((Skud,(Sbay)#H1),((Spar,Scer),Smik)),#H1,Scas),Sklu),Calb);
