building a tree from consensus sequences

but when I try run_pasta.py and some problems occcured showed: ImportError: cannot import name convert node to root polytomy.polytomy, polytomous variable See DICHOTOMY. hi there, I installed pasta in a linux system following the instruction, it seems successful. It is worth noting that although a single polytomy represents the simplest scenario, it is the most challenging scenario for the BD approach. When the single polytomy scenario is run through beast using a Yule Process tree prior, rather than a birth–death tree prior, there is no observed bias in γ (see supplementary materials).Note that fossils of species 7 predate those of its sister taxon. The fossil ages of each taxon are color-coded on the right. The point where multiple lineage arise from a single node (a polytomy) is here intended to indicate uncertainty rather than evidence of a simultaneous divergence of an ancestral lineage into five descendant lineages. an internal node of a cladogram that has more than two immediate descendants (i.e, sister taxa), and for which their relationships cannot be fully. A polytomy signifies that evolutionary relationships among the taxa are not yet clear. polytomy, a branch point from which more than two descendant groups emerge. When two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are sister taxa.An unresolved pattern of divergence. A lineage that evolved early and remains unbranched is a basal taxon. A branch point indicates where lineages diverged from each other. Moreover, there is no evidence that the Issyk-Kul’ outbreak was the effect of a post-polytomy strain it could have come from one of the Branch 0 strains that preceded the big bang.Rooted phylogenetic trees: The root of a phylogenetic tree indicates that an ancestral lineage gave rise to all organisms on the tree. (have an immediate common ancestor not shared with other groups.) Today, Evolutionary Theory says that a common history gives an objective reality to groups of organisms, and so today scientists attempt to name only monophyletic groups.The same strain responsible for the Issyk-Kul’ outbreak could have left its native home after the polytomy, traveling back later to move from rodents to humans. Simplest definition - 'Scissors' test - cut a branch everything that falls off is part of a monophyletic group.
