| Summary | 0006835: Creating dummy outgroup for using RelTime with tree of life data |
| Description | Hello,
I am interested in using RelTime-BranchLengths to estimate dates for a tree-of-life dataset. As such, there is no formal outgroup in the tree.
If I were to add a dummy outgroup to the tree (1 taxon or a small clade), could I run RelTime-BranchLengths analysis with calibrations enabled on the "real" tree-of-life ingroup? Any advice on this would be appreciated!
Best,
Charley. |
