48 # A node can only have one parent
50 my $parent = $example_leaf_node->ancestor;
52 # parent won't likely have an description because it is an internal node

61 A NodeI is capable of the basic structure of building a tree and
62 storing the branch length between nodes. The branch length is the
63 length of the branch between the node and its ancestor, thus a root
64 node in a Tree will not typically have a valid branch length.
66 Various implementations of NodeI may extend the basic functions and
67 allow storing of other information (like attaching a species object
68 or full sequences used to build a tree or alternative sequences). If
69 you don't know how to extend a Bioperl object please ask, happy to
70 help, we would also greatly appreciate contributions with improvements
71 or extensions of the objects back to the Bioperl code base so that
72 others don't have to reinvent your ideas.
79 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
80 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
81 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

88 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

92 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
93 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
94 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
95 with code and data examples if at all possible.
99 Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
100 of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
