If I recall correctly, the trees are compared in a rooted sense. Even if you have the same unrooted topology, different rootings between your files will yield different edge numbers, so just changing the newick string in a .jplace file will change the placement locations.

Does Guppy's merge command use the tree topology or the tree string to identify if the trees are the same or some of other method?
I just ran into a problem merging trees where my tree strings were different but the topology should have been identical and it gave me an error.
If I were to replace all the trees with 1 version of the tree (for the files I want to merge), and run guppy merge. Would the coordinates not longer be appropriate for the tree that got swapped in?
Thank you
