NAME

Bio::Nexml::Factory - A factory module for creating BioPerl and Bio::Phylo objects from/to nexml documents

SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly. It shoulde be used through 
Bio::NexmlIO, Bio::SeqIO::nexml, Bio::AlignIO::nexml, or 
Bio::TreeIO::nexml

DESCRIPTION

This is a factory/utility module in the Nexml namespace. It contains methods that are needed by multiple modules.

This module handles the creation of BioPerl objects from Bio::Phylo objects and vice versa, which is used to read and write nexml documents to and from BioPerl objects.

FEEDBACK

Mailing Lists

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.

Support

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

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
