Bio::NEXUS::CharactersBlock(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::NEXUS::CharactersBlock(3)

Bio::NEXUS::CharactersBlock - Represents a CHARACTERS Block (Data or Characters) of a NEXUS file

$block_object = new Bio::NEXUS::CharactersBlock($type, $block, $verbose, $taxlabels_ref);

This is a class representing a Characters Block in a NEXUS file. Characters Blocks generally contain state data for a set of characters for each taxon in the Taxa Block. One common use of a Characters Block is to house multiple sequence alignments.

All feedbacks (bugs, feature enhancements, etc.) are greatly appreciated.
