[Jalview-discuss] A question concerning bootstrap

[Jim Procter]

Dear Markus.

Thanks for your email - I'm afraid that Jalview currently doesn't 
provide any means to calculate bootstrap values. The tree viewer's 'show 
bootstraps' option only works when you load a newick format tree file 
which actually includes them.

There are a few programs out there that allow bootstrap calculation - 
including several web sites. If you don't have any favourites, then I'd 
suggest TOPALi (www.topali.org), SplitsTree (www.splitstree.org), or 
MEGA (http://www.megasoftware.net/). You can actually share alignments 
and trees with TOPALi via the vamsas framework, but I would recommend 
that with the current version of Jalview 2.4.

Jim.
