NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::FastTree

SYNOPSIS

# Build a FastTree factory
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::FastTree->new(-quiet => 1,
                                                 -fastest => 1);
# Get an alignment
my $alignio = Bio::AlignIO->new(
      -format => 'fasta',
      -file   => '219877.cdna.fasta');
my $alnobj = $alignio->next_aln;

# Analyze the aligment and get a Tree
my $tree = $factory->run($alnobj);

DESCRIPTION

Get a Bio::Tree object given a protein or DNA alignment.
