Bio::TreeIO - Parser for Tree files

  {
      use Bio::TreeIO;
      my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(-format => 'newick',
                                    -file   => 'globin.dnd');
      while( my $tree = $treeio->next_tree ) {
                print "Tree is ", $tree->number_nodes, "\n";
      }
  }

This is the driver module for Tree reading from data streams and flatfiles. This is intended to be able to create Bio::Tree::TreeI objects.

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. Your participation is much appreciated.
