Visualising U.S. gun laws

These files provide the data used for the following post on Genealogical World of Networks (http:///phylonetworks.blogspot.com/) Grimm GW. Posted 5/3/2018. Visualizing U.S. gun laws. The Genealogical World of Phylogenetic Networks (ed. by D. Morrison). http://phylonetworks.blogspot.fr/2018/03/visualizing-us-gun-laws.htmlThe data matrix scores GunsToCarry's breakdown of U.S. gun legislation as a set of 17 binary and ternary characters, which is then used to infer inter-state pairwise (mean/Hamming) distances. I provide the data matrix in two formats:*.nex — A fully annotated version (character states labelled) generated with (and optimised for) Mesquite (https://mesquiteproject.wikispaces.com/)*.simple.nex — Version in (old) NEXUS format (data block) showing the set-up for the distance analysis such as the used weighting schemeResults are provided raw and graphically enhanced*.dst — the resultant pairwise distance matrix in (extended) PHYLIP format*.dist — the resultant neighbour-net, Splits-NEXUS-formatted (can be opened and visualised with SplitsTree, www.splitstree.org, and R/phangorn, https://github.com/KlausVigo/phangorn)*.png – graphically enhanced versions of the resultant neighbour-net as shown in the original post and the related long-read at Res.I.P. (http:///phylonetworks.blogspot.com/)Listed programmes are free-to-use software, *.simple.nex and *.dst files can also be viewed with any text-editor (*.nex and *.dist can be viewed but include complex additional code-lines)
