Dear Prof I trust you are keeping well I want to know, that is it necessary to have phylogenetic tree for this model, or we can use this with out tree kindly please let me know Thanks and Regards

Taxonomic NST (the function tNST) does not need a phylogenetic tree. In the first paper about NST (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1904623116), we used tNST based on functional gene microarray data, which has no phylogenetic tree information. But, for amplicon sequencing data where phylogenetic trees should be available, we found phylogenetic NST results could be more reasonable than taxonomic NST in several studies.

I have a question, from the multiple outputs of the tNST function how I can go about visualizing the results? from all of the index.pair, index.grp, index.pair.grp, index. between etc.
