NAME¶
Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot - Wrapper around the Simprot program. Wrapper for the
calculation of a multiple sequence alignment from a phylogenetic tree
SYNOPSIS¶
use Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot;
use Bio::TreeIO;
my $treeio = Bio::TreeIO->new(
-format => 'nh', -file => 't/data/tree.nh');
my $tree = $treeio->next_tree;
my $simprot = Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot->new();
$simprot->tree($tree);
my ($rc,$aln,$seq) = $simprot->run();
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a wrapper around the Simprot program by Andy Pang, Andrew D Smith, Paulo
AS Nuin and Elisabeth RM Tillier.
Simprot allows for several models of amino acid substitution (PAM, JTT and PMB),
allows for gamma distributed sites rates according to Yang's model, and
implements a parameterised Qian and Goldstein distribution model for insertion
and deletion.

information.
Helping the module find your executable¶
You will need to enable SIMPROTDIR to find the simprot program. This can be done
in (at least) three ways:
1. Make sure the simprot executable is in your path (i.e.
'which simprot' returns a valid program
2. define an environmental variable SIMPROTDIR which points to a
directory containing the 'simprot' app:
In bash
export SIMPROTDIR=/home/progs/simprot or
In csh/tcsh
setenv SIMPROTDIR /home/progs/simprot
3. include a definition of an environmental variable SIMPROTDIR
in every script that will
BEGIN {$ENV{SIMPROTDIR} = '/home/progs/simprot'; }
use Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot;
FEEDBACK¶
Mailing Lists¶
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl
modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl
mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

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

Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot
Returns : Bio::Tools::Run::Simprot
Args : -alignment => the Bio::Align::AlignI object
-tree => the Bio::Tree::TreeI object
-save_tempfiles => boolean to save the generated tempfiles and
NOT cleanup after onesself (default FALSE)
-executable => where the simprot executable resides
-params => A reference to a hash where keys are parameter names
and hash values are the associated parameter values
