Mantel test

Assuming the 'matrix' format is a symmetrical distance 'matrix' stored as a data frame (which read.csv creates) rather a rectangular data 'matrix,' you can convert it to a dist object with as.dist().

Subject: [R] Mantel test

Dear R users,

I'm having trouble getting my data into R in the correct format to run a
Mantel test.

I'm testing genome size differences by genetic distances of the 28S gene
for ~30 species. I'm able to get my genome size data (as a single column of
data) into matrix and dist formats in R but the genetic distances output by
MEGA are already in 'matrix' format so I don't know how to load this CSV
file into R without it calculating new genetic distances when I convert it
to the dist form required by the test.

Thanks in advance,
Nick
