Hi Ralf

I do not know what is ANI but MEGA can buid a tree from any ditance matrix

Cheers

Thierry

Ralf Koebnik

Thanks a lot, Thierry,

I will look into this. ANI = Average Nucleotide Identity (at a genome-wide scale).

Best, Ralf

Vasvi Chaudhry

Dear Dr. Ralf,

You can use GENE-E (https://software.broadinstitute.org/GENE-E/). Its a java based web tool.

Best,

Vasvi

Thanks a lot, Vasvi,

I will have a look after the holidays.

All the best for 2017!
