Upward tip or node to root path
This function is a wrapper around phytools
getDescendants (Revell 2012). It returns the node path from a
given node or species to the root of the phylogeny.
getMommy(tree,N,curr=NULL)
tree |
a phylogenetic tree. The tree needs not to be ultrametric and fully dichotomous. |
N |
the number of node or tip to perform the function on. Notice the function only works with number, not tip labels. |
curr |
has not to be provided by the user. |
The object 'curr' is created inside the function in order to
produce an array of nodes on the path.
The function produces a vector of node numbers as integers, collated from a node or a tip towards the tree root.
