Description

Counts the number of extra lineages contributed by a species tree and a set of gene trees. The trees must be specified in the Rich Newick Format. Specifying more than one species tree will run the command multiple times with one execution per species tree.

Usage

DeepCoalCount_tree {species_tree_ident1 [, species_tree_ident2...]} (gene_tree_ident1 [, gene_tree_ident2...]) [-u] [-b threshold] [-a taxa map] [resultOutputFile]

species_tree_ident1 [, species_tree_ident2...]

Comma delimited set of species tree identifiers.

mandatory

gene_tree_ident1 [, gene_tree_ident2...]

Comma delimited list of gene tree identifiers. See details.

mandatory

-u

Gene trees should be treated as unrooted.

optional

-b threshold

Gene tree bootstrap threshold. Edges in the gene trees that have support lower than threshold will be contracted.

optional

-a taxa map

Gene tree / species tree taxa association.

optional

resultOutputFile

Optional file destination for command output.

optional

The command assumes that the trees are rooted. Gene trees may be reinterpreted as unrooted with the [-u] flag.

By default, it is assumed that only one individual is sampled per species in gene trees. However, the option [-a taxa map] allows multiple alleles to be sampled.

Examples

#NEXUS

BEGIN TREES;

Tree speceiesTree = ((((a,b),c),d),e);
Tree geneTree1 = ((((a,b),c),d),e);
Tree geneTree2 = ((a,b),((c,e),d));
Tree geneTree3 = ((a,c),((b,e),d));

END;


BEGIN PHYLONET;

DeepCoalCount_Tree {speceiesTree} (geneTree1, geneTree2, geneTree3);

END;
#NEXUS

BEGIN TREES;

Tree speceiesTree = ((((x,y),w),m),n);
Tree geneTree1 = ((((a::.5,b::.5)::.5,c::.5)::.5,d::.5)::.5,e::.5)::.5;
Tree geneTree2 = ((a::.5,b::.5)::.5,((c::.5,e::.5)::.5,d::.5)::.5)::.5;
Tree geneTree3 = ((a::.5,c::.5)::.5,((b::.5,e::.5)::.5,d::.5)::.5)::.5;

END;


BEGIN PHYLONET;

DeepCoalCount_tree {speciesTree} (geneTree1, geneTree2, geneTree3) -u -b .5 -a <x:a; y:b; w:c; m:d; n:e>;

END;
