NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::FastTree

SYNOPSIS

         # Build a FastTree factory
         $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::FastTree->new(-quiet => 1,
                                                          -fastest => 1);
         # Get an alignment
         my $alignio = Bio::AlignIO->new(
               -format => 'fasta',
               -file   => '219877.cdna.fasta');
         my $alnobj = $alignio->next_aln;

         # Analyze the aligment and get a Tree
         my $tree = $factory->run($alnobj);

DESCRIPTION

       Get a Bio::Tree object given a protein or DNA alignment.
