Reference trees with polytomies #3

Open lovettse opened 5 years ago

lovettse commented 5 years ago

I've been trying to create customized WG-FAST dbs using an internal phylogenetic workflow, but I've run into the issue that using a tree with polytomies generates an error from RAxML. Randomly breaking these polytomies to create a strictly bifurcating tree fixes the problem while introducing unwanted structure to the tree. Is it possible to use a tree containing polytomies so that new sequences could potentially be added to a non-bifurcating node?

I'll look into it, but I'm limited with what I can do on my end
