Dear all, I am working on the issue of continuous character discretization prior to character-based phylogenetic reconstruction. I’m looking for material to test my method: this should consist in mixed data sets, having simultaneously continuously valued characters (ex: expression rates) and discrete characters (ex: molecular sequences). A large number of taxa is also needed. I would be grateful if anyone could send me such data, which will allow me an empirical validation of my approach. Thanks to all. ______________________________________ Mahé BEN HAMED Laboratoire Dynamique du Langage -UMR 5596- Institut des Sciences de l'Homme 14, avenue Berthelot 69363 Lyon cedex 07 tel: (+33) 4 72 72 65 37 fax: (+33) 4 72 72 65 90 e-mail : [log in to unmask]
