Create a Phylogenetic tree in R

I am new to R and in my bioinformatics class we were asked to create a phylogenetic tree using R. I was given a list of sequences to run a clustalw2 using the executable file clustalw2.exe. I have a .aln file of the sequences and now need to translate that into a neighbor joining rooted tree. Does anyone have any suggestions?

r

Most R packages are for visualising and analysing trees you already have. You can use Clustal to create a NJ tree from your .aln file first.

You can then use something like the ape package to do any further analysis.
