Jalview's tree viewer doesn't support any NHX annotations, but the parser does support quoted node names and preserves all node comments within the tree datamodel, so they are there if you want to parse them out.
Unfortunately, when I was working on it, I didn't have a comprehensive set of NHX files to test the parser with, and instead left in checks that will raise a warning dialog if the tree file contains NHX annotations to warn the user that there may be problems. If you know (and trust) the source of the file, however, then it should be possible to safely squash that error within the JABAWS phylogeny service web service client. What NHX annotations are you interested in using ? It's of course possible to extend Jalview to cope with anything, but we should seriously consider if it will be more efficient to incorporate Archeopteryx, if you need full NHX capabilities. Jim. ps. Everyone on this thread is now subscribed to the jalview-dev list, so we should move further discussion there. pps. arbitrary length node names are only important if you are importing trees from outside of Jalview. Normally, any sequences sent to a service have an autogenerated ID string, and jalview replaces the ID with the displayed sequence name when the results are retrieved. _______________________________________________ Jalview-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/jalview-dev
