I have a phylogenetic tree in nexus format that was generated with RAxML. In the tree file, there are node support values. I want to plot this tree in R with the support values showing. However, when I import the tree file in R with the read.nexus function in ape, the node values do not appear in $node.labels. Can someone recommend another option in R?

  • $\begingroup$ RAxML, or raxml-ng? The former has both a bipartitionsBranchLabels file with a weird support formatting in the newick, where the support values are wrapped in square brackets ([ ]) and a bipartitions file, where they are normally formatted. $\endgroup$
