Syntax for tips #27

Open petermr opened 9 years ago

petermr commented 9 years ago

The IJSEM phylotrees have an uncontrolled tip syntax:

genus species strain strain1? \(AAdddddd | AAAddddd | NC_dddddd\)

However we can't assume this in general. What other syntaxes are we likely to have to tackle?

genus species

or

genus

are common, but there are many others. Can we come up with heuristics that work "most of the time"? Because otherwise we are gong to have to define this for each tree, which defeats the automation.
