I used CIPRES to run Bayesian Analyses on my data sets. I have my con.tre files, and I open them up in iTOL, then export them as Newick trees so I can edit them quicker in MEGA X. However, when I open the newick trees in MEGA X, I get bootstrap values (percentages) instead of posterior probabilities--which to my understanding is common to report posterior probabilities when displaying BI trees. I looked around in all of the menu options on MEGA X, and can't seem to find anything that will REconvert the "bootstrap" percentages back into decimal format. Any suggestions???
Dear Kauahi Perez,
you can proceed with this task in more simple way and open con.tre file from CIPRES by FigTree software ( http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/ ) directly. It has an option to show posterior probability. MEGA software is designed mostly for constructing and visualizing distant and likelihood trees, not Bayesian ones.
Dear Andrii,
Thanks so much for responding. I'll give FigTree a try.
Thanks kindly,
Kauahi
