The branch length is the length of the branch between the node and its ancestor, thus a root node in a Tree will not typically have a valid branch length. Various implementations of NodeI may extend the basic functions and allow storing of other information (like attatching a species object or full sequences used to build a tree or alternative sequences). If you don't know how to extend a Bioperl object please ask, happy to help, we would also greatly appreciate contributions with improvements or extensions of the objects back to the Bioperl code base so that others don't have to reinvent your ideas. =head1 FEEDBACK =head2 Mailing Lists User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list.
