[Bioperl-l] How to add branch labels for PAML codeml branch models

[Jason Stajich]

http://bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:Trees#Reading_and_Writing_Trees

Remember that in newick format bootstrap and internal node ids are  
effectively the same thing - that we store in them separate slots in  
bioperl is that fact that other formats can separate out this data  
but there is no standard in newick format.  In sometime cases formats  
do accept the node labels that look like NODEID[BOOTSTRAP]  for  
internal nodes (and BioPerl parses those out nicely) but most  
programs don't recognize that.

On parsing, unless you tell Bioperl that the internal IDs are  
bootstrap values it is going to store that data as an ID.
You will want to clear the bootstraps anyways to write PAML trees  
anyways.
