[Biopython-dev] Rerooting a tree with Bio.Phylo

[Peter]

Hi Eric,

I've got a real example of a simple tree manipulation that I would like to
handle via your new module. I have a (small) unrooted tree from a gene
family in Newick format, which by construction includes an out-group
(the same gene but from a more distant organism). I would like to reroot
the tree so that this out-group is at the basal level.

Can Bio.Phylo help me here?

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. Why is Bio.Phylo.trim_str a public method?
