Interesting to note the following : standard PHYLIP format reserves the
first 10 characters for the name and has the sequence start at position
11. But some programmers like the one of PhyML use a format they call
PHYLIP, which however allows a name of any length but then demands that
there be a space between the name and the sequence. I already had
trouble when I used a standard PHYLIP file made by PHYLIP or EMBOSS with
a name of 10 characters as input to PhyML.
