In this article, we present an effective encoding of dendrograms by embedding them into the Bruhat-Tits trees associated to $p$-adic number fields. As an application, we show how strings over a finite alphabet can be encoded in cyclotomic extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and discuss $p$-adic DNA encoding. The application leads to fast $p$-adic agglomerative hierarchic algorithms similar to the ones recently used e.g. by A. Khrennikov and others. From the viewpoint of $p$-adic geometry, to encode a dendrogram $X$ in a $p$-adic field $K$ means to fix a set $S$ of $K$-rational punctures on the $p$-adic projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$. To $\mathbb{P}^1\setminus S$ is associated in a natural way a subtree inside the Bruhat-Tits tree which recovers $X$, a method first used by F. Kato in 1999 in the classification of discrete subgroups of $\textrm{PGL}_2(K)$. Next, we show how the $p$-adic moduli space $\mathfrak{M}_{0,n}$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with $n$ punctures can be applied to the study of time series of dendrograms and those symmetries arising from hyperbolic actions on $\mathbb{P}^1$. In this way, we can associate to certain classes of dynamical systems a Mumford curve, i.e. a $p$-adic algebraic curve with totally degenerate reduction modulo $p$. Finally, we indicate some of our results in the study of general discrete actions on $\mathbb{P}^1$, and their relation to $p$-adic Hurwitz spaces.
