x

an object of class "phylo" (for the function phylo.toBackbone), or an object of the special class "backbonePhylo" (for backbone.toPhylo).

trans

data frame containing the attributes necessary to translate a backbone tree to an object of class "backbonePhylo". The data frame should contain the following variables: tip.label: the tip labels in the input tree (not all need be included); clade.label: labels for the unobserved subtrees; N: number of species in each subtree; and depth: desired depth of each subtree. depth for each terminal taxon in x cannot be greater than the terminal edge length for that taxon.

...

optional arguments.
