[ensembl-dev] newick

[Matthieu Muffato]

Dear Joseph


The "left_index" and "right_index" columns are there to implement the 
Nested set model (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model ). 
They allow quick retrieval of ancestors / descendants.


That said, if you want to export one of our speices-trees into, I would 
suggest to directly download them from the FTP 
ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-99/compara/species_trees/, or use the 
Perl script ensembl-compara/scripts/examples/species_getSpeciesTree.pl


Best,
Matthieu
