Answers.Text: I see, thanks! If I wanna know the bootstrap number, where could I see it? Can I customize the bootstrap number to something like 10000?

Answers.Text: The file I mentioned contains bootstrap values. I have modified the post to provide the link to the documentation where it describes this. It is under the header 'species tree'. Increasing the bootstrap replicaties is has been answered in the modified post.

Body: <p>I'm running analysis with OrthoFinder and it produces a single-copy gene tree. When I visualize the tree with iTOL, there's no bootstrap value on the branches or nodes. There's a published paper in BMC Genomics that also didn't show the bootstrap value using OrthoFinder.</p>

  <li>Does anybody know why there's no bootstrap values present on the phylogeny?</li>

  I'm running analysis with OrthoFinder and it produces a single-copy gene tree. When I visualize the tree with iTOL, there's no bootstrap value on the branches or nodes. There's a published paper in BMC Genomics that also didn't show the bootstrap value using OrthoFinder.

  1. Does anybody know why there's no bootstrap values present on the phylogeny?
  2. How can this be corrected?
  
  Thanks
