A question concerning bootstrap

Hello

I am currently working on my doctor thesis and I have to perform 2 alingments and draw a tree out of them.

So far I can aling my sequences and draw a tree out of it, but I am not able to show the correct bootstrap values in Jalview 2.4. Can anybody help me with this problem?

cheers Markus

Dear Markus.

Thanks for your email - I'm afraid that Jalview currently doesn't provide any means to calculate bootstrap values. The tree viewer's 'show bootstraps' option only works when you load a newick format tree file which actually includes them.

There are a few programs out there that allow bootstrap calculation - including several web sites. If you don't have any favourites, then I'd suggest TOPALi (www.topali.org), SplitsTree (www.splitstree.org), or MEGA (http://www.megasoftware.net/). You can actually share alignments and trees with TOPALi via the vamsas framework, but I would recommend that with the current version of Jalview 2.4.

Jim.
