Hi there,

Just starting to use ASTRAL to try and get an idea of the species tree topology while optimising *beast. If anyone is familiar with ASTRAL, or maybe newick, could you please help me decipher the error message below?

Background: 21 nexus gene trees, converted to single newick file format using the dendropy package in python. 14 identical taxa in all 21 gene tree files.

Thanks!

================== ASTRAL =====================

This is ASTRAL version 4.10.12

Gene trees are treated as unrooted
