NEXUS is the file format used by many popular programs like GDA, Paup*, Mesquite, ModelTest, MrBayes, and MacClade. Nexus file names often have a .nxs or .nex extension.

The NEXUS format conveys data organized according to the character state data model, in which the features of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (e.g., species, individuals, genes, genomes, etc.) are observable states of underlying homologous characters. For instance, in a protein sequence alignment, proteins are the OTUs, alignment columns are characters, and amino acids (or gaps) are states. In evolutionary analysis, it is typical to consider differences as the result of state transitions that take place on branches of a tree, therefore the NEXUS file provides a means to represent a tree (in the standard Newick (a.k.a. New Hampshire) format).

Syntactic structure

The syntactic structure of a NEXUS file is as follows: 

#NEXUS
begin < blockname >;
    < command > < argument > [additional argument];
    [ < another command with args >; ]
end;
[ < another block with commands > ]
  • The syntax for the TREES block is
BEGIN TREES;
    [Translate arbitrary-token-used-in-tree-description valid-taxon-name
        [, arbitrary-token-used-in-tree-description valid-taxon-name ...];]
    [Tree [*] tree-name=tree-specification;]
END;
  • Example syntax for a TREES block in a NEXUS file
BEGIN TAXA;
    TaxLabels Scarabaeus Drosophila Aranaeus;
END;

BEGIN TREES;
    Translate beetle Scarabaeus, fly Drosophila, spider Aranaeus;
    Tree tree1 = ((1,2),3);
    Tree tree2 = ((beetle,fly),spider);
    Tree tree3 = ((Scarabaeus,Drosophila),Aranaeus);
END;

Each of the pre-defined types of public blocks may appear only once. The TAXA block is the only necessary block. There are some restrictions on the ordering of blocks, and on the ordering of commands within a block. Application-specific "private" blocks are also possible. NEXUS keywords are not case-sensitive. Names of BLOCKS in upper case, shown here, are only for mnemonic purposes.

Some important public blocks
Name Description
TAXA specifies OTUs in data set
CHARACTERS specifies characters
SETS assigns names to sets of characters or OTUs
ASSUMPTIONS houses assumptions about the data or gives general directions as to how to treat them (e.g., which characters are to be excluded from consideration)
CODONS specifies codons and their genetic codes
DATA equivalent to a CHARACTERS block in which the NewTaxa subcommand is included in the Dimensions command
TREES stores information about trees
UNALIGNED
DISTANCES contains distance matrices
SETS stores sets of objects (characters, states, taxa, etc.)
source: Maddison et al., 1997


Some important commands
Name Block Description
TaxLabels CHARACTERS allows specification of the names of the taxa
CharLabels CHARACTERS label for a character (column)
StateLabels CHARACTERS label for a state (the type of an instance of a character)
CharStateLabels CHARACTERS combined label for a character and its states
CharSet SETS specifies and names a set of characters
TaxSet SETS give a name to some set of OTUs
GeneticCode CODONS specify a genetic code
CodeSet CODONS associate a code with a CharSet or TaxSet
Tree TREES specify a "Newick tree"
CodonPosSet
StateSet
ChangeSet
TreeSet
CharPartition define partition of characters
TaxPartition define partition of taxa
TreePartition define partition of trees
UserType
WtSet specifies the weights of each character (standard object definition command)
TypeSet specifies the type assigned to each character as used in parsimony analysis
ExSet specifies which characters are to be excluded from consideration
AncStates allows specification of ancestral states
Common
Dimensions specifies the number of characters.
Format specifies the format of the data Matrix (a crucial command)
Eliminate allows specification of a list of characters that are to be excluded from consideration.
Matrix contains a sequence of taxon names and state information for that taxon
source: Maddison et al., 1997


Format subcommands

The following are possible formatting subcommands:

  • DataType = { standard | DNA | RNA | nucleotide | protein | continuous }
  • RespectCase
  • Missing
  • Gap
  • Symbols
  • Equate
  • MatchChar
  • [No]Labels
  • Transpose
  • Interleave
  • Items
  • StatesFormat
  • [No]Tokens

NEXUS Objects

Many of the commands in a NEXUS file define objects or specify characteristics about them. All objects can be labeled (given names). Duplicate names should be avoided as should names that differ only in case.

List of currently defined objects:

  • taxa
  • characters
  • states
  • trees
  • genetic codes
  • sets (of taxa, characters, states, classes of changes between states, trees)
  • partitions (of taxa, trees, characters)
  • weight sets
  • types
  • type sets
  • character exclusion sets
  • ancestral states
  • codon position sets
Definition list 
list of definitions

Example Trees

Two character state trees and the NEXUS commands that define them. The first tree has an unnamed state. 

     2     3        4     6
      \   /          \   /
       \ /            \ /
        *              3  5
        |              | /
        |              |/
        1              2
        |              |
        |              |
        0              1
      first          second

USERTYPE first (CSTREE) = (((2,3))1)0;
USERTYPE second (CSTREE) = (((4,6)3,5)2)1;
