Description :  edit

Given a list of leaves, and the symmetrical distance matrix linking all the nodes, this extension will compute the corresponding tree using an algorithm based on Minimal Evolution.

Usage :  edit

The minimal form of the tclfastme command is :

fastme leavesList matrixList ?option value? ...

Given a list of leaves a,b,c, the matrix list is of the form :

set matrixList {d(a,a) d(a,b) d(a,c) d(b,a) d(b,b) d(b,c) d(c,a) d(c,b) d(c,c)}

where d(a,b) is the distance between a and b, d(a,a) = 0.0.

Three options are currently available :

• -init_tree (bal)anced|ols|NJ|BIONJ , bal is the default
• -branch_lengths (bal)anced|OLS , bal is the default
• -swap (bal)anced|OLS , bal is the default.

Please refer to the reference article for more details on the algorithm [3].
