public static <C extends Sequence<D>,D extends Compound> Msa convert(MultipleSequenceAlignment<C,D> msa)
                                                                    throws java.io.IOException
```
    Convert a BioJava MultipleSequenceAlignment to a forester Msa. The easiest way to convert them is writting the msa as a FASTA file and then parsing it with the forester FastaParser.
    
    Parameters:
    
    msa - BioJava MultipleSequenceAlignment
    
    Returns:
    
    forester Msa object
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if the conversion was not possible
  - getNewickString
```
public static java.lang.String getNewickString(Phylogeny phylo,
                                               boolean writeDistances)
                                        throws java.io.IOException
```
    Convert a Phylogenetic tree to its Newick representation, so that it can be exported to an external application.
    
    Parameters:
    
    phylo - Phylogeny phylogenetic tree
    
    writeDistances - write the branch lengths if true
    
    Returns:
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - cloneDM
```
public static BasicSymmetricalDistanceMatrix cloneDM(BasicSymmetricalDistanceMatrix distM)
```
    Helper function to clone a forester symmetrical DistanceMatrix.
    
    Parameters:
    
    distM - forester symmetrical DistanceMatrix
    
    Returns:
    
    identical copy of the forester symmetrical DistanceMatrix
