=head1 NAME

Bio::MUST::Core - Core classes and utilities for Bio::MUST

=head1 VERSION

version 0.210380

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This distribution is the base of the C<Bio::MUST> module collection designed
for writing phylogenomic applications in Perl. Their main strength lies in
their transparent handling of the NCBI Taxonomy database (see
L<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/taxonomy>), for example to automatically label
ancestral nodes in phylogenetic trees.

C<Bio::MUST> classes do not need (and are not meant as a replacement for)
L<BioPerl>. In contrast, they depend on both L<Bio::LITE::Taxonomy> and
L<Bio::Phylo>, two non-BioPerl distribution for dealing with biological data.

C<Bio::MUST> modules have been used in production since 2013 but are not yet
ready for wider adoption due to their lack of documentation. This should
improve over time. Meanwhile, adventurous users can have a look at the
L<Bio::MUST::Core::Ali> class which is already fully documented.
