hivtree: Phylogenetic Tree of 193 HIV-1 Sequences

Description

This data set describes an estimated clock-like phylogeny of 193 HIV-1 group M sequences sampled in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Usage

data(hivtree.newick)
data(hivtree.table)

Format

hivtree.newick is a string with the tree in Newick format. The data frame hivtree.table contains the corresponding internode distances.
