[Bioperl-l] reroot looses branch information  Robson de Souza
robfsouza at gmail.com Fri Jul 23 19:04:38 EDT 2010   I'm
playing with some tree methods from Bio::Tree::TreeFunctionI and
I found that Bio::Tree::TreeFunctionI::reroot looses the
bootstrap support for the branch leading to the ancestor of the
new root. Therefore, when calling reroot, I'm using code like
my $ancestor = $newroot->ancestor; my $support =
$newroot->bootstrap if (defined $ancestor);
$ancestor->bootstrap($support) if (defined $support && defined
$ancestor);  There seems to be some code in reroot() to prevent
that but I don't know why this is happening...  Could you please
check and fix that?  More information about the Bioperl-l
