How To Edit A Phylip File To Align In Mega

Question

[Kash]

Hi all,

I have phylip format files which was generated through stacks pipeline. I want to build some trees using them. So I want to know how to use phylip files in MEGA software. It appears I have to do some editing. But I don't know how to do it. I need some help from some one who knows how to do it. Thank you in advance.

Regards, Kalpi

Hi, I am not sure which format mega uses. I think it will take FastA? Anyway, this website will convert phylip to several other formats.

If you want to add something to your pipeline, have a look at the alignIO in biopython (here).

Hope this helps
