[Bioperl-l] a question on "move_id_to_bootstrap" usage

[Jason Stajich]

I'm not sure why you still have the __DATA__ block if you are reading data
in from a file or are you trying to send an example of the code but forgot
to specify a different input point?

If you are reading from a file that looks like the tree in the __DATA__
block you notice that the bootstrap info is encoded as the branch_length,
NOT the id - the move_id_to_bootstrap only moves the ID to the BOOTSTRAP.
you'll have to write a custom routine or just run a simple loop on your tree
to move the data to the bootstrap - it would look just the
move_id_to_bootstrap except you'd use branch_length instead of id to get the
data that you want to set in the bootstrap.  I leave it as an exercise for
the reader, but if you can't figure it out let us know.


In the future please ask your questions on the mailing list as I don't have
much time to answer questions individually when someone else can help.
