node.dating

Summary: Phylogenetic trees encode the evolutionary distances between species or
populations. With sufficient information, these evolutionary distances can be
rescaled over time to provide estimates of the dates of the most recent ancestors
of the species. Here we present the R program node.dating, divergence-time
analysis software, which uses a maximum-likelihood method to estimate the dates
of the internal nodes of a phylogenetic tree. Availability and Implementation:
node.dating is available as a part of the R v3.30 package ape v4.0
(cran.r-project.org). node.dating is also available in the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/brj1/node.dating , along with supplementary software and
tests. Contact: brj1@sfu.ca. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are
available at Bioinformatics online.

node.dating: dating ancestors in phylogenetic trees in R.

node.dating is a software tool for the divergence-time analysis to estimate the dates of the internal nodes of phylogenetic trees. The node.dating algorithm uses a maximum-likelihood method to estimate the dates of the internal nodes of phylogenetic trees.
