Bio::Phylo::Unparsers::Fasta(3)

NAME
Bio::Phylo::Unparsers::Fasta - Serializer used by Bio::Phylo::IO, no serviceable parts inside

DESCRIPTION
Definition lines for each FASTA records are either (first choice) created from the generic 'fasta_def_line' annotation which can be manipulated like so:

 $datum->set_generic( 'fasta_def_line' => $line )

So you can retrieve it by calling:

 my $line = $datum->get_generic('fasta_def_line');

Alternatively the name of the $datum is used, or, lacking that, the name of the associated taxon, if any.

    The fasta unparser is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO object. Look there to learn how to create phylip formatted files.
