Bio.Nexus.Nodes module

Linked list functionality for use in Bio.Nexus.

Provides functionality of a linked list. Each node has one (or none) predecessor, and an arbitrary number of successors. Nodes can store arbitrary data in a NodeData class.

Subclassed by Nexus.Trees to store phylogenetic trees.
