Call for data : mixed continous+discrete characters dataset

[Mahé Ben Hamed at Mizzou1.Missouri.edu]

Dear all,

            I am working on the issue of continuous character discretization
prior to character-based phylogenetic reconstruction. 

I’m looking for material to test my method: this should consist in mixed
data sets, having simultaneously continuously valued characters (ex:
expression rates) and discrete characters (ex: molecular sequences). A large
number of taxa is also needed.

 

I would be grateful if anyone could send me such data, which will allow me
an empirical validation of my approach. 

 

Thanks to all.
