I have prepared a nj phylogenetic tree using ape package in R. But due to large number of sequences and taxa, the tips of the tree looks overlapping. How can I increase the distance between the branches, so that my tree can be viewed properly with all the tips?
You may find it easier to just view the tree in a graphical tree browser: http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/
Output using ape write.tree, then import to figtree

Dear Partha,
I would try setting the width and height parameters of the output device (png(), jpeg() etc.) before plotting the tree.

Dear Partha,
you can change the size of the letters with e.g. adding an argument cex=.3.
