Phylip¶
Description¶
The Phylip format 1 can be used to store character data for a set of taxa. The “strict” Phylip format requires that the first line indicate the number of taxa in the file and the number of characters each taxon will have. The following lines should include a label for each taxon (up to 10 characters) and the character data for that taxon, which is split up into 10 character chunks that may be padded with spaces (as below).
