Load tree from file

ARB/Tree Admin/Import

Allows to import a tree written in Newick format.

Press the 'IMPORT' button to display the 'TREE LOAD' window.

Select a tree file from the 'Directories and Files' subwindow or type the file name to the 'FILE NAME' subwindow.

Specify a tree name ('tree_*') by typing it to the 'tree_name:' subwindow.

Press the 'LOAD' button.

If a suffix is displayed in or typed to the 'SUFFIX' subwindow, only the corresponding file names will be displayed. The suffix is automatically appended to the file name typed to the 'FILE NAME' subwindow.

The format recognized by ARB is a slightly enhanced Newick format.

Newick format specification:

ARB enhancements:

• if the 'internal_node_label' contains 'number' it is interpreted as bootstrap value. 'number' may optionally be followed by an '%'.
• if the 'internal_node_label' contains 'number:name' number is interpreted as bootstrap value, and name is interpreted as group name.
• if the 'internal_node_label' contains 'notNumber:name' notNumber is interpreted as custom remark which will be displayed w/o modification, and name is interpreted as group name.
• if the 'internal_node_label' contains 'notNumber:' notNumber is interpreted as custom remark.
• if the 'internal_node_label' contains 'name' it is interpreted as group name.
• see ticket #787 (section 'Solution') for a more formal definition of inner node labels accepted by arbs newick importer.

None

The IDs associated with terminal nodes have to be consistent with those of the current database!

Never give your groups numeric names or the ARB Newick enhancement will not work for you!
