A new tree data structure for phylogenetics in R
This package arises from my frustration with dealing with edge matrices to work with phylogenetic trees in R. The idea is to use a nice tree data structure instead of manually manipulating branch indices.
This package will not have any phylogenetic models (such as those in diversitree, geiger, ape, etc). However, it will be a basis for building fast calculators and simulators.
This is my side project, so don't expect great things quickly. Currently, I'm focussing on wrapping the underlying data structure nicely with Rcpp.
