Can anyone help with my intuition on how or why ILS gives a different signal than introgression/reticulation in a tree?

Here is a short example of how to create a phylogenetic tree like the one on the left. I use data and silhouettes provided by the ggtree package — more is coming in the next days!
#ggtree #rstats #phylogenetics #dataviz #bioinformatics #ggplot2 #PhyloPic code: gist.github.com/loukesio/dd3...

Styling ggtree branches is easy; change color, linewidth, and linetype directly inside the ggtree() call. Works the same across rectangular, circular, and slanted layouts. Colors from the alger palette (ltc package).
#ggtree #rstats #phylogenetics #dataviz

The cool things about ggtree don't stop here. You can use geom_text() or geom_label() to display node and tip labels simultaneously, or geom_tiplab() to show only tip labels. You can even have nodes and tips looking differently

#ggtree has a relatively steep learning curve. But after looking at a few Python alternatives eg., toytree, ETE, Bio.Phylo it's hard to match its layout versatility. 21 tree variants with just a few lines of code.

Like with the MBE work, DeepRoots introduces a new and much faster way to bootstrap. It achieves this by introducing "Embedding Jitter"—injecting Gaussian noise into the latent space to estimate branch support.
