I've become very stuck on what I assumed would be a very simple thing and would appreciate any help!
I have two trees that I want to connect together at their roots, whilst preserving both root edges, but everything I try (using bind.tree) seems to fail.
First method I tried:
bind.tree(treeA, treeB)
seems to remove root edges.
2nd method I tried involved creating an "ancestor" tree consisting of these root edges I was trying to conserve and binding both trees to that:
Progress_Tree<- bind.tree(anc_tree, TreeA, where = 1)
Error in x$edge[, 2] : incorrect number of dimensions
Or if I unroot TreeA, I can attach it, but when I then attach TreeB, it adds all of the tips of both trees, but only contains a list of a very small number of edges.
I'm just so confused.
