Estimating substitution rates

[burbrink]

Hey Guys,

Does treePL generate substitution rates that can be viewed somewhere? I see what looks like these rates as edge lengths in .r8s files, but I am just not sure. If this is possible, could you explain where to get them and how to properly interpret the rates (are these per calibration unit [?my]).

Thanks everyone!

It's also not clear to me what the values mean in the .r8s file.
