Hello Chris,
I am writing in response to the bug report you recently submitted regarding missing branch lengths for bootstrap consensus trees in MEGA 5.10. This is actually a bug fix. The ability to display branch lengths for bootstrap consensus trees in MEGA has been removed in version 5.10 because the consensus trees sometimes contain multi-furcations. Estimates of branch lengths in these cases are not correct, as the collapsed partitions have non-zero lengths in reality but they are not statistically resolved (i.e., lack of significance by bootstrap method).
Best regards,
Glen Stecher |
