Schematic of how trees are converted to vectors. Numbers on branches in the unrooted tree are branch lengths. In this example, the tree is first converted to either a branch length-based dissimilarity map (matrix of distances between tips) or topological dissimilarity maps (matrix of number of edges between tips). Moving from left to right across rows in one half of a matrix, values are placed into a single column to yield a vector of distances between tips in the tree.
