NAME

Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Nexus - Parser used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts inside


DESCRIPTION

This module parses nexus files. It is called by the the Bio::Phylo::IO manpage module, there is no direct usage. The parser can handle files and strings with multiple tree, taxon, and characters blocks whose links are defined using Mesquite's "TITLE = 'some_name'" and "LINK TAXA = 'some_name'" tokens.

The parser returns a reference to an array containing one or more taxa, trees and matrices objects. Nexus comments are stripped, private nexus blocks (and the 'assumptions' block) are skipped. It currently doesn't handle 'mixed' data.
