Module: Arbitrarily Ultrametricize

Full package name: mesquite.trees.Ultrametricize.Ultrametricize
Duty: Branch Lengths Alterer (multiple trees) (mesquite.lib.duties.BranchLengthsAltererMult)

Module Explanation

Adjusts a tree's branch lengths so that the distances among terminal taxa are ultrametric (i.e. like a molecular clock, all tips reaching to same level). This is not done with any sophisticated smoothing algorithm; rather, branches are just stretched until they reach to same level.
