[ensembl-dev] How to get a tree stable id ?

[Matthieu Muffato]

Hi Sébastien

You should call "fetch_all" on the protein tree adaptor. This will give 
you an array with all the protein trees.

Initially, all the protein trees were indeed directly connected to what 
you call "big_root", but we are now storing there the links between the 
trees that are part of a bigger structure ("super-tree"), which defines 
old duplications and distant paralogues.

By calling fetch_all_roots() and children(), you go into this internal 
hierarchy of trees. fetch_all is the preferred way of getting all the 
"normal" trees in one go.
