Newick conf command

Example

newick -conf reference.newick -trees replicates.newick -output conftree.newick

Description

The newick command-line utility has tools for manipulating trees in Newick format.

The conf command calculates bootstrap confidence values by comparing a reference tree to a set of replicate trees. The output tree has confidence values stored as node labels.

The newick utility supports Felsenstein confidence, but not transfer expectation. If you want transfer bootstraps, you can use the RAxML support command.
