29 Description: ape provides functions for reading, writing, plotting,
30 and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data
31 in a phylogenetic framework, analyses of diversification and
32 macroevolution, computing distances from allelic and nucleotide
33 data, reading nucleotide sequences, and several tools such as
34 Mantel's test, computation of minimum spanning tree, the population
35 parameter theta based on various approaches, nucleotide diversity,
36 generalized skyline plots, estimation of absolute evolutionary rates
37 and clock-like trees using mean path lengths, non-parametric rate
38 smoothing and penalized likelihood, classifying genes in trees using
39 the Klastorin-Misawa-Tajima approach. Phylogeny estimation can be done
40 with the NJ, BIONJ, and ME methods.
