Title: branch length units?
Post by jh on Nov 7^th, 2006 at 1:23pm

I built a tree using MG94. What are the units on the branch lengths?

Thanks

Jody

Dear Jody,

By default, branch lengths are reported in expected substitutions per nucleotide side per unit time, so the estimates from codon models and nucleotide models can be compared directly.

Cheers,
Sergei
