DESCRIPTION
This is a wrapper around the SLR program. See http://www.ebi.ac.uk/goldman/SLR/ for more
information.
This module is more about generating the proper ctl file and will run the program in a
separate temporary directory to avoid creating temp files all over the place.

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

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.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
usually preceded with a _
Default Values
INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL METHODS
seqfile [incodon]
File from which to read alignment of codon sequences. The file
should be in PAML format.
treefile [intree]
File from which tree should be read. The tree should be in Nexus
format
outfile [slr.res]
File to which results are written. If the file already exists, it will
be overwritten.
reoptimise [1]
Should the branch lengths, omega and kappa be reoptimized?
0 - no
1 - yes.
kappa [2.0]
Value for kappa. If 'reoptimise' is specified, the value
given will be used as am initial estimate,
omega [0.1]
Value for omega (dN/dS). If 'reoptimise' is specified, the value
given will be used as an initial estimate.
codonf [0]
How codon frequencies are estimated:
0: F61/F60 Estimates used are the empirical frequencies from the
data.
1: F3x4 The frequencies of nucleotides at each codon position
are estimated from the data and then multiplied together to get the
frequency of observing a given codon. The frequency of stop codons is
set to zero, and all other frequencies scaled appropriately.
2: F1x4 Nucleotide frequencies are estimated from the data
(not taking into account at which position in the codon it occurs).
The nucleotide frequencies are multiplied together to get the frequency
of observing and then corrected for stop codons.
freqtype [0]
How codon frequencies are incorporated into the substitution matrix.
0: q_{ij} = pi_{j} s_{ij}
1: q_{ij} = \sqrt(pi_j/pi_i) s_{ij}
2: q_{ij} = \pi_{n} s_{ij}, where n is the nucleotide that the
subsitution is to.
3: q_{ij} = s_{ij} / pi_i
Option 0 is the tradition method of incorporating equilibrium frequencies
into subsitution matrices (Felsenstein 1981; Goldman and Yang, 1994)
Option 1 is described by Goldman and Whelan (2002), in this case with the
additional parameter set to 0.5.
Option 2 was suggested by Muse and Gaut (1994).
Option 3 is included as an experiment, originally suggested by Bret Larget.
it does not appear to describe evolution very successfully and should not
be used for analyses.
Kosakovsky-Pond has repeatedly stated that he finds incorporating codon
frequencies in the manner of option 2 to be superior to option 0. We find
that option 1 tends to perform better than either of these options.
positive_only [0]
If only positively selected sites are of interest, set this to "1".
Calculation will be slightly faster, but information about sites under
purifying selection is lost.
gencode [universal]
Which genetic code to use when determining whether a given mutation
is synonymous or nonsynonymous. Currently only "universal" and
"mammalian" mitochondrial are supported.
nucleof [0]
Allow for empirical exchangabilities for nucleotide substitution.
0: No adjustment. All nucleotides treated the same, modulo
transition / transversion.
1: The rate at which a substitution caused a mutation from nucleotide
a to nucleotide b is adjust by a constant N_{ab}. This adjustment is
in addition to other adjustments (e.g. transition / transversion or
base frequencies).
aminof [0]
Incorporate amino acid similarity parameters into substitution matrix,
adjusting omega for a change between amino acid i and amino acid j.
A_{ij} is a symmetric matrix of constants representing amino acid
similarities.
0: Constant omega for all amino acid changes
1: omega_{ij} = omega^{A_{ij}}
2: omega_{ij} = a_{ij} log(omega) / [ 1 - exp(-a_{ij} log(omega)) ]
Option 1 has the same form as the original codon subsitution model
proposed by Goldman and Yang (but with potentially different
constants).
Option 2 has a more population genetic derivtion, with omega being
interpreted as the ratio of fixation probabilities.
nucfile [nuc.dat]
If nucleof is non-zero, read nucleotide substitution constants from
nucfile. If this file does not exist, hard coded constants are used.
aminofile [amino.dat]
If aminof is non-zero, read amino acid similarity constants from
aminofile. If this file does not exist, hard coded constants are used.
timemem [0]
Print summary of real time and CPU time used. Will eventually print
summary of memory use as well.
ldiff [3.841459]
Twice log-likelihood difference used as a threshold for calculating
support (confidence) intervals for sitewise omega estimates. This
value should be the quantile from a chi-square distribution with one
degree of freedom corresponding to the support required.
E.g. qchisq(0.95,1) = 3.841459
0.4549364 = 50% support
1.323304 = 75% support
2.705543 = 90% support
3.841459 = 95% support
6.634897 = 99% support
7.879439 = 99.5% support
10.82757 = 99.9% support
paramin []
If not blank, read in parameters from file given by the argument.
paramout []
If not blank, write out parameter estimates to file given.
skipsitewise [0]
Skip sitewise estimation of omega. Depending on other options given,
either calculate maximum likelihood or likelihood fixed at parameter
values given.
seed [0]
Seed for random number generator. If seed is 0, then previously
produced seed file (~/.rng64) is used. If this does not exist, the
random number generator is initialised using the clock.
saveseed [1]
If non-zero, save finial seed in file (~/.rng64) to be used as initial
seed in future runs of program.
Results Format
Results file (default: slr.res) ------------ Results are presented in nine columns
Site
Number of sites in alignment
Neutral
(minus) Log-probability of observing site given that it was
evolving neutrally (omega=1)
Optimal
(minus) Log-probability of observing site given that it was
evolving at the optimal value of omega.
Omega
The value of omega which maximizes the log-probability of observing
LRT_Stat
Log-likelihood ratio statistic for non-neutral selection (or
positive selection if the positive_only option is set to 1).
LRT_Stat = 2 * (Neutral-Optimal)
Pval
P-value for non-neutral (or positive) selection at a site,
unadjusted for multiple comparisons.
Adj. Pval
P-value for non-neutral (or positive) selection at a site, after
adjusting for multiple comparisons using the Hochberg procedure
(see the file "MultipleComparisons.txt" in the doc directory).
Result
A simple visual guide to the result. Sites detected as having been
under positive selection are marked with a '+', sites under
purifying selection are marked with '-'. The number of symbols
Number symbols Threshold
1 95%
2 99%
3 95% after adjustment
4 99% after adjustment
Occasionally the result may also contain an exclamation mark. This
indicates that the observation at a site is not significantly
different from random (equivalent to infinitely strong positive
selection). This may indicate that the alignment at that site is bad
Note
The following events are flagged:
Synonymous All codons at a site code for the same amino
acid.
Single character Only one sequence at the site is ungapped,
the result of a recent insertion for example.
All gaps All sequences at a site contain a gap
character.
Sites marked "Single character" or "All gaps" are not counted
towards the number of sites for the purposes of correcting for
multiple comparisons since it is not possible to detect selection
from none or one observation under the assumptions made by the
sitewise likelihood ratio test.
