Does anybody use SAS (FASTCLUS..., FACTOR...) for phylogenic studies ? We plan to compare the trees we could obtained with the phenetic and cladistic approaches with their, as yet known, biological significance. Matrix data are of 0 and 1 resulting from the presence/absence of restriction sites in PCR amplified fragments. Since I am beginner in SAS I am looking for distance methods to use in SAS as well as the procedures to use (Statisticians said that I have to make several statistical tests e.g. Principal Components analysis mixed with classification procedures. Could anybody help me ? Thanks in advance. Yves Bertheau INRA Plant Pathology Paris FRANCE
