Hi Alastair, It's not an R-based solution, but I've written a small python program to handle this very task. It takes advantage (and requires the previous installation) of the DendroPy library written by Jeet Sukumaran and Mark Holder. It should be able to handle polytomies without a problem (I think).
Here's the code: http://webspace.utexas.edu/jmb2239/transferBranchLabels.py Here's a brief blog post describing how to use it: http://geodendron.blogspot.com/2010/05/transferring-support-values-between.html And here's the Dendropy library: http://packages.python.org/DendroPy/ Cheers, Jeremy On Feb 24, 2011, at 3:40 AM, Alastair Potts wrote: > Hi all, > Me again.
