Method: Bio::Tree#leaves

Defined in:
lib/bio/tree.rb

#leaves(node = nil, root = nil) ⇒ Object

If node is nil, returns an array of all leaves (nodes connected with one edge). Otherwise, gets all descendent leaf nodes of the node. If root isn’t specified or root is nil, @root is used. Returns an array of Nodes. The result is unspecified for cyclic trees.
