I don't think we need to add an ape dependency just for the mst function. There is an mst function in igraph, which we need anyway.

    The reason is for convenience, as ape takes and returns a distance matrix. igraph takes and returns a graph object, which would need to be both created and then parsed in order to use that function.

    Yeah, I saw that. If it's something we can do only once with a couple extra lines, then maybe we should do it. But if it hasn't to be done repeatedly then we should keep the ape dependency.
