=head1 NAME
Bio::Tree::NodeI - Interface describing a Tree Node
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# get a Tree::NodeI somehow
# like from a TreeIO
use Bio::TreeIO;
# read in a clustalw NJ in phylip/newick format
my $treeio = new Bio::TreeIO(-format => 'newick', -file => 'file.dnd');
my $tree = $treeio->next_tree; # we'll assume it worked for demo purposes
# you might want to test that it was defined
my $rootnode = $tree->get_root_node;
# process just the next generation
foreach my $node ( $rootnode->each_Descendent() ) {
print "branch len is ", $node->branch_length, "\n";
}
# process all the children
my $example_leaf_node;
foreach my $node ( $rootnode->get_all_Descendents() ) {
if( $node->is_Leaf ) {
print "node is a leaf ... ";
# for example use below
$example_leaf_node = $node unless defined $example_leaf_node;
}
print "branch len is ", $node->branch_length, "\n";
}
# The ancestor() method points to the parent of a node
# A node can only have one parent
my $parent = $example_leaf_node->ancestor;
# parent won't likely have an description because it is an internal node
# but child will because it is a leaf
print "Parent id: ", $parent->id," child id: ",
$example_leaf_node->id, "\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A NodeI is capable of the basic structure of building a tree and
storing the branch length between nodes. 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.
