I updated the Trees HowTo with some code demonstrating how to automatically generate postscript trees from newick or nexus tree files. This uses the Bio::Tree::Draw::Cladogram module that will draw Phylograms or Cladograms. With a few unix tools ( eps2png and epstopdf [part of TeX]) you can generate png and pdf files automatically making this an easy addition to phylogenetic pipelines that generate webpages as well as stand alone applications.

David Strumfels posted news about the Useful Chemistry CMLRSS feed . He explains how this feed can be accessed using Jmol and Bioclipse. The latter are accompanied by two AVI movies: one about creating a new OPML file, and one about accessing the CMLRSS file from the OPML.
