Arguments

cell_ids

The list of the identifiers of the cells whose most recent common ancestors are aimed (optional).

Value

A dataframe representing, for each of the identified cells, the identified (column cell_id), whenever the node is not a root, the ancestor identifier (column ancestor), whenever the node was sampled, i.e., it is one of the forest leaves, the name of the sample containing the node, (column sample), the mutant (column mutant), the epistate (column epistate), and the birth time (column birth_time).
