That's what I meant with (b), but it was perhaps too hastily 
written...

I don´t know of any R function capable of solving Jimmy´s problem, but
I would suggest using TNT. TNT implements a function (isinfo) that
tells you if a given character is or is not informative.

Hope this helps.

2011/9/17 Nick Matzke:

All sites are informative under likelihood, but I assume you mean
parsimony-informative, in which case all you have to do is count which sites
are either (a) uniform or (b) uniform except for differences found only in a
single species.

Probably easiest if you convert the read.nexus.data output to a dataframe
with as.data.frame, then use unique and == to count the number of states in
each site...

Hi all,

A simple question to which I can't seem to find an answer: is there a way
to show only the informative sites of a DNA sequence dataset in R?

Thanks,

Hi all,

It can be done with phyloch but I forgot the name of the function.

Subject: [R-sig-phylo]  Show Informative Sites?

Nick´s rules won´t allways work in a Parsimony context. For example, a
position like this one:
1 A
2 A
3 T
4 C
would be "informative" under rules (a) and (b), but it is in reality
uninformative, as any of the possible trees have a length of 2. Thus,
this character tells us nothing about _phylogeny_.

I don´t know of any R function capable of solving Jimmy´s problem, but
I would suggest using TNT. TNT implements a function (isinfo) that
tells you if a given character is or is not informative.

Hope this helps.
