Hi!
Thank you very much for your answers to my 
question some days ago! Now I have resolved my 
first problem, that is importing and using a gene 
tree reconstructed with other programs! It is very easy!!!!
But now I have another two questions.
First of all if I measure the distributions of 
test statistics (Slatkin & Maddison's S) on a 
simulated population tree, when I reject or 
accept this model drawn? I know that if the 
observed S.-value of my gene tree falls outside 
of the 95% confidence interval, that model are 
not supported by the data. On the contrary, if I 
have a case similar to the example of Mesquite's 
manual I don't reject the model (S = 9, observed 
values within the 95% confidence interval, that is 4 and 10).
But now I suppose this example:
I measure the observed S-value for my first gene 
tree and that is 9 (for example...!).
Now I draw some population trees corresponding to 
the evolution models I want to test. I measure 
the distribution of S-values for each model.
model n? 1: the S-value distribution has only one 
value, for example 2, so I reject the model (outside the boundary)
model n?2: the S-value distribution has two 
limits: 5 and 15, so I accept the model (inside the boundary)
model n?3: the S-value distribution has only one 
value, that is 9 (exactly my observed S-value)      ??????
model n?4: the S-value distribution has two 
limits: 9 and 15 (lower tail exactly my observed S-value)      ??????
What happen for models n? 3 and 4? I'm not sure 
to accept or reject these hypothesis.......

The second question is:
For use a gene tree (reconstructed with other 
software) and to measure S-value it is better to 
use a sequences tree or an haplotypes tree?

Thank you very very much again for your help!!!!!

Hi Monica,

First question: With this approach, if your observed statistic falls within
the 95% CI, you cannot reject a hypothesis being tested.  Thus, for your
examples, you would not reject models 3 or 4.  However, the distribution of
observed values will depend on the number of replicates you are running.
Are you performing at least 100 replicates?  If possible, you could try
simulating 1,000, 10,000, or even more gene trees to get a better reflection
of the true distribution of your test statistic.

Second question: Best if your data reflect population-level sampling, thus
sequence (individual) trees are more appropriate, even if many individuals
have identical haplotypes.

For those of you who have tried to use Clustal or Muscle from within

Message-ID: <1DAD2FCA-6E2C-473E-9395-C333DA7FD0F5@systbot.uzh.ch>

Hello,

  Summarise State Changes Over Trees gives an output of frequency of  
change between all states and summarises it in terms of min, max and  
average. It also displays the frequency of number of changes (ie. in  
how many trees does a certain transition change 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.  
times). This is useful as you can then express frequencies as  
percentiles rather than mean values. Unfortunately, all frequencies  
above 9 transitions are lumped, so that information is lost if a  
character changes, say, 10-15 times across the trees. Can this output  
can be manipulated?

many thanks,

Aelys

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0902041355001.14032-100000@bibo.EMBL-Heidelberg.DE>

Hi 

A quick question - I often use the "Copy Tree" option from the Tree 
Window's Edit menu to put the NEWICK format description of the tree I'm 
viewing onto my clipboard

If I've selected some/all of the branches on the tree e.g. using the 
"Selecet Clade" tool, those branches are marked-up in the text version of 
the tree that "Copy Tree" places on my clipboard - and I would like to 
avoid having this marking up/commmenting in this text

so - with that in mind - how do i "deselect" branches in this window? I've 
hunted around through the menus and the documentation and can't find any 
way of doing this

Any suggestions/advice much appreciated!

Best wishes

Aidan

The convention is the same as in most computer programs -- you click 
somewhere else where there is nothing to select.  So, if you have the 
arrow tool selected, touch on the background beside the tree, making 
sure you don't touch a branch or a terminal taxon name.  Does that 
work?

Hello,

I tried to trace continuous characters over several trees. But when I  
go to this option in the analysis panel, I can not choose my  
continuous character matrix.
Is it not possible or am I just not able to find it?

Many thanks for answers.

Subject: [Mesquitelist] stochastic mapping
Message-ID: <498AA9EC.2030907@evolmuseum.uu.se>

Hello,

I  was wondering if someone could explain to me how stochastic mapping 
is implemented in Mesquite, and specifically how it compares to SIMMAP...

In SIMMAP, stochastic mapping is a Bayesian technique, which among other 
things means that you have to place a prior on tree length (i.e., the 
amount of morphological change in a tree).

In Mesquite, whether reconstructing ancestral states or summarizing 
change over trees (e.g., a posterior sample from MrBayes), I find no way 
of placing a prior on tree length (or any other proxy for rate). Does 
Mesquite use some kind of "implicit prior"? Or is stochastic mapping in 
Mesquite non-Bayesian, instead mapping the amount of change prescribed 
by the corresponding maximum likelihood reconstruction? If the latter, 
one would expect Summarize Change to give the same result with 
stochastic mapping as with maximum likelihood, but empiry indicates that 
this is not the case.

Many thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Stefan Ekman

Subject: [Mesquitelist] switching off colouring of randomly moved branches
	for tree export
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0902051144280.9691-100000@bibo.EMBL-Heidelberg.DE>

Again, a question related to using MESQUITE to extract sets of trees for 
use elsewhere - hopefully this time I've not overlooked something very 
simple again!

When I create a set of trees which are random modifications of a given 
tree via random branch moves i.e. using

Taxa&Trees->Make New Trees Block From->
Randomly Modify Current Tree->Random Branch Moves

all of the trees have the moved branches highlighted in red.

This is great - except that when I try and export the trees via copy or 
the File->Export menu option, the labeled branches are annotated, and this 
causes problems for the other software.

I know I can turn off the colour using the "Color" tool on the tree 
window, but when I then move on to my next tree, the colouring is still 
switched on there, and when I move back to the tree where I did switch it 
off, the colour is back.

also, when the colour is switched off for all trees using

Drawing->Show Branch Colors                                                                       

The annotation is still included in the exported trees

Is there some way of switching this off i.e. preventing annotations of the 
tree (colours, I guess other things too) from being exported in the NEWICK 
format trees?

Thanks

Aidan

Subject: [Mesquitelist] possible bug?
Message-ID: <BAY141-DAV64871C3130977D5BF87FAC4BB0@phx.gbl>

Hello all,
	I am making the bittersweet move from Maclade to Mesquite  
(Macclade-simple to use and, for me, mostly logical menus vs.  
Mesquite-complicated but much more powerful and for both PC and Mac!)  
and I still have a lot to learn, but I have run into a problem.

	I am not sure this is bug or if I am doing something wrong so I  
thought it best to comment here rather than just send it in as a bug.

	I use Mesquite 2.6 on several PC's (windows XP), an I-mac (OSX 10.5),  
and on a dual-processor G-5 (OSX 10.3.9), all with recent updates to  
the operating systems.  Recently I decided to label groups of taxa  
according to family, each with a different color.  In the PC's and the  
I-mac this works fine (taxon names in black, cells in color), but when  
I open the file in the G-5 and view the character matrix the names of  
the taxa are in the same color as the cells and I can't read the names.  
  The only way to return the taxon names to black is to remove the group  
designation.
	Is this a bug with the program or just a problem with the particular  
version of Java that runs on this computer?  Checking "About this Mac"  
shows Java 1.3.1 Plugin settings as version 2.0.0, Java 1.4.2 Plugin  
settings as version 2.3.0, and Java Web Start as version 2.3.0.

	Has anyone else had this problem?

	There is also another small problem with the program in the same  
machine.  Mesquite loads just fine, but when I open a file that had  
been saved in any other machine a small window opens that says "A  
script has failed to execute properly, possibly because it expected  
certain modules not available in the current configuration of Mesquite.  
  Details: A command ("getInfoPanel;") did not result in the return of  
an object as expected.  The script's results may not be as expected.   
More details are written into Mesquite's log file."  This does not  
occur with files that were saved on this same machine.
	A copy of the info from the log file is given below.

Thanks,  Scott Monks

Try the new simplification system if you want it to try to simplify 
its interface, though its still won't be a simple as MacClade.

OS X 10.3.9 has so many problems with java that we will probably soon 
declare defeat and say we don't support it.  Most have to do with 
graphical problems of this sort.

If you go to Matrix>Color Taxon Names Background, you can turn off 
the cell color (No Color).

If you open a newer file with an older version of Mesquite, or if you 
open a file saved with another copy of Mesquite that had extra 
modules installed, then the scripts saved within the files may refer 
to modules not in your current copy.  The warning is usually 
innocent, just to remind you that you should expect the file to 
return to the same state in which you saved it in terms of windows 
and analyses. The data themselves should be unaffected.

Subject: [Mesquitelist] How does one view multiple "traced" trees without
	redoing ancestral state reconstructions each time?
Message-ID: <001501c995ca$2b498260$81dc8720$@edu>

 

Dear Mesquite users:

 

I am performing ancestral state reconstructions of a binary character on a
sample of Bayesian trees (1000) using maximum parsimony and BiSSE.

 

For the MP analyses I am interested in looking at each tree to see how many
times MP identifies the state change having occurred  in one direction (0 to
1) versus the reverse direction (1 to 0). When I try and scroll between
trees Mesquite retraces the ancestral state across each of the 1000 trees.  

 

Is there a way to view or print the MP ancestral state reconstruction of
each tree without redoing the analysis across all trees every time? 

 

I have had similar issues with BiSSE, but those analyses it is possible to
work around the problem by outputting the ML estimates to a text file.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Marc

I'll need more specifics as to what you're doing, because under the 
most obvious scenario Mesquite wouldn't (or shouldn't) retrace for 
all trees.  So first I need to make sure I understand what you're 
doing.  Do you have a tree window open, showing one of the 1000 
trees, and you have Trace Character History on?  If so, then when you 
scroll to a new tree, it should just recalculate ancestral states on 
that one tree.

When you say that it redoes the analysis across all trees every time, 
how do you know it is doing that?

Is it possible you have a chart window open that depends on the tree 
in the tree window (e.g. by providing simulated characters?) and this 
is what is being recalculated?
