=head1 NAME

Bio::Species - Generic species object.  

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    $species = Bio::Species->new(-classification => [@classification]);
                                    # Can also pass classification
                                    # array to new as below

    $species->classification(qw( sapiens Homo Hominidae
                                 Catarrhini Primates Eutheria
                                 Mammalia Vertebrata Chordata
                                 Metazoa Eukaryota ));

    $genus = $species->genus();

    $bi = $species->binomial();     # $bi is now "Homo sapiens"

    # For storing common name
    $species->common_name("human");

    # For storing subspecies
    $species->sub_species("accountant");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<NOTE: This class is planned for deprecation in favor of the simpler Bio::Taxon.
Please use that class instead.>

Provides a very simple object for storing phylogenetic information. The
classification is stored in an array, which is a list of nodes in a phylogenetic
tree. Access to getting and setting species and genus is provided, but not to
any of the other node types (eg: "phylum", "class", "order", "family"). There's
plenty of scope for making the model more sophisticated, if this is ever needed.

A methods are also provided for storing common names, and subspecies.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the
web:

 Title   : classification
 Usage   : $self->classification(@class_array);
           @classification = $self->classification();
 Function: Get/set the lineage of this species. The array provided must be in
           the order ... ---> SPECIES, GENUS ---> KINGDOM ---> etc.
 Example : $obj->classification(qw( 'Homo sapiens' Homo Hominidae
           Catarrhini Primates Eutheria Mammalia Vertebrata

 Returns : Classification array
 Args    : Classification array 
                 OR
           A reference to the classification array. In the latter case
           if there is a second argument and it evaluates to true,
           names will not be validated. NB: in any case, names are never
           validated anyway.

           the binomials "Simian 11 rotavirus (serotype 3 / strain
           SA11-Patton)", or "St. Thomas 3 rotavirus", straight from GenBank.
           This is particularly problematic in microbes and viruses. As such,
           this isn't actually used automatically by any Bio::Species method.

 Function: Get or set the organelle name
 Example : $self->organelle('Chloroplast')
 Returns : The organelle name in a string
 Args    : String, which is the organelle name
 Note    : TODO: We currently do not know where the organelle definition will
           eventually go.  This is stored in the source seqfeature, though,
