Estimating branch lengths from fixed topology #29

Closed ERRMoody closed 2 years ago

ERRMoody commented 2 years ago

Hi, I get this error when supplying a bifurcating (rooted) tree when using the -T option:

error: root should be of degree three i.e. tree should have following format: (A,B,C) and not (A,(B,C));

Suggesting that it should be a polytomy? Do I need to add an additional blank sequence with the name 'root' or something, so there is a polytomy at the base?

Thanks

Works when artificially creating a polytomy on the root node as the error suggested, presumably this won't affect branch length estimation.
