One tree has a different number of tips - bootstrap.pml() function runs

[alptaciroglu]

I was wondering if anyone encountered this error while running the "Appendix 2: Standard scripts for amino acid analysis". At the last line of code, I sometimes get this error working with exact same sequences and sometimes not.

What I do is run the script a couple of times and find the one that turns out fine which is a waste of resources, not ideal for automatization of a larger script and also hard to reproduce, unfortunately. Thanks in advance

Here is the truncated code for ease of access.

library(phangorn)
file="myfile"
dat = read.phyDat(file, type = "AA")
dm = dist.ml(dat, model="JTT")
tree = NJ(dm)
# parallel will only work safely from command line
# and not at all windows
(mt <- modelTest(dat, model=c("JTT", "LG", "WAG"),
multicore=TRUE))
# run all available amino acid models
(mt <- modelTest(dat, model="all", multicore=TRUE))
fitStart = eval(get(mt$Model[which.min(mt$BIC)], env), env)
fitNJ = pml(tree, dat, model="JTT", k=4, inv=.2)
fit = optim.pml(fitNJ, rearrangement = "stochastic",
optInv=TRUE, optGamma=TRUE)
fit
bs = bootstrap.pml(fit, bs=100, optNni=TRUE, multicore=TRUE)  ### Where the error occurs

Hi @alptaciroglu , is it possible to send me the data set (klaus.schliep@gmail.com), so I can try to reproduce the error. Klaus

Hello @KlausVigo,

Thanks for your reply. I sent the data set. It is in phyDat format and saved as RData. Cheers!
