Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::SeqBoot(3pm)

NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::SeqBoot - Wrapper for the phylip program SeqBoot

SYNOPSIS

  #Create a SimpleAlign object
  @params = ('ktuple' => 2, 'matrix' => 'BLOSUM');
  $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw->new(@params);
  $inputfilename = 't/data/cysprot.fa';
  $aln = $factory->align($inputfilename); # $aln is a SimpleAlign object.
  # Use seqboot to generate bootstap alignments
  my @params = ('datatype'=>'SEQUENCE','replicates'=>100);
  my $seq = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::SeqBoot->new(@params);
  my $aln_ref = $seq->run($aln);
  my $aio = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file=>">alignment.bootstrap",-format=>"phylip");
  foreach my $ai(@{$aln_ref}){
         $aio->write_aln($ai);
  }
  # To prevent PHYLIP from truncating sequence names:
  # Step 1. Shelf the original names:
  my ($aln_safe, $ref_name)=                  #  $aln_safe has serial names
             $aln->set_displayname_safe();    #  $ref_name holds orginal names 
  # Step 2. Run PHYLIP programs:
  $aln_ref = $seq->run($aln_safe);            #  Use $aln_safe instead of $aln
  # Step 3. Retrieve orgininal names
  $aio = Bio::AlignIO->new(
             -file=>">alignment.bootstrap",
             -format=>"fasta");               #  FASTA output to view full names
  foreach my $ai(@{$aln_ref}){
         my $new_aln=$ai->restore_displayname($ref_name); #  Restore names
         $aio->write_aln($new_aln);
  }

DESCRIPTION

Wrapper for seqboot from the phylip package by Joseph Felsentein.

Taken from phylip doc...

"SEQBOOT is a general boostrapping tool. It is intended to allow you to generate multiple data sets that are resampled versions of the input data set. SEQBOOT can handle molecular sequences, binary characters, restriction sites, or gene frequencies."

More documentation on using seqboot and setting parameters may be found in the phylip package.

VERSION Support This wrapper currently supports v3.5 of phylip. There is also support for v3.6 although this is still experimental as v3.6 is still under alpha release and not all functionalities maybe supported.

PARAMETERS FOR SEQBOOT

MODEL

Title : DATATYPE Description : (optional)

                  This program supports 3 different datatypes
                  SEQUENCE: Molecular Sequences
                  MORPH   : Discrete  Morphological  Characters
                  REST    : Restriction Sites
                  GENEFREQ: Gene  Frequencies
             Defaults to SEQUENCE

PERMUTE

Title: PERMUTE Description: (optional)

             3 different resampling methods are available:
             BOOTSTRAP : creating a new data set by sampling N
                         characters randomly with replacement The
                         resulting data set has the same size as the
                         original, but some characters have been left
                         out and others are duplicated
             JACKKNIFE : Delete-half-jackknifing. It involves sampling
                         a random half of the characters, and
                         including them in the data but dropping the
                         others The resulting data sets are half the
                         size of the original, and no characters are
                         duplicated.
             PERMUTE : Permuting species within characters. It
                       involves permuting the columns of the data
                       matrix separately.  This produces data matrices
                       that have the same number and kinds of
                       characters but no taxonomic structure.
             Defaults to BOOTSTRAP

REPLICATES

  Title         : REPLICATES
  Description   : (optional)
                This options allows the user to set the number of
                replicate data sets. Most statisticians would be
                happiest with 1000 to 10,000 replicates in a
                bootstrap, but 100 gives a good rough picture
                Defaults to 100

ALLELES

Title : ALLELES Description : (optional)

            This option is to be used with gene frequencies datatype
            option to specify that all alleles at each locus are in
            the input file.
                  Defaults to NULL

Support

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