# Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Raxml(3pm)

Bio::Tree getter from DNA alignment through raxml

## NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Raxml - Bio::Tree getter from DNA alignment through raxml

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # Build a Raxml factory
  $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Raxml->new(-p  => 100);
  # 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 using raxml given a protein or DNA alignment.
