NAME
Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver - Wrapper aroud the PAML program evolver
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver;
my $evolver = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver->new();
# Get a $tree object somehow
$evolver->tree($tree);
# FIXME: evolver generates a tree (first run with option 1 or 2)?
# One or more alns are created
my @alns = $evolver->run();
####
# Or with all the data coming from a previous PAML run
my $parser = Bio::Tools::Phylo::PAML->new
(
-file => "$inputfile",
);
my $result = $parser->next_result();
my $tree = $result->next_tree;
$evolver->tree($tree);
my @codon_freqs = $result->get_CodonFreqs();
$evolver->set_CodonFreqs(\@codon_freqs);
my $val = $evolver->prepare();
# FIXME: something similar for nucleotide frequencies:
# Option (5) Simulate nucleotide data sets (use MCbase.dat)?
# FIXME: something similar for aa parameters:
# Option (7) Simulate amino acid data sets (use MCaa.dat)?
# FIXME: With an initial RootSeq.txt
DESCRIPTION
This is a wrapper around the evolver program of PAML (Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum
Likelihood) package of Ziheng Yang. See http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/software/paml.html
for more information.
This module is more about generating the properl MCmodel.ctl file and will run the program
in a separate temporary directory to avoid creating temp files all over the place.
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 the Bioperl mailing list. 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.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
usually preceded with a _
Default Values
Valid and default values for evolver programs are listed below. The default values are
always the first one listed. These descriptions are essentially lifted from the example
MCcodon.dat file and pamlDOC documentation provided by the author.
Stub:
option1 specifies something.
option2 specifies something else.
INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL METHODS
program_name
Title : program_name
Usage : $factory->program_name()
Function: holds the program name
Returns: string
Args : None
program_dir
Title : program_dir
Usage : ->program_dir()
Function: returns the program directory, obtained from ENV variable.
Returns: string
Args :
new
Title : new
Usage : my $obj = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver object
Returns : Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::PAML::Evolver
-save_tempfiles => boolean to save the generated tempfiles and
NOT cleanup after onesself (default FALSE)
-tree => the Bio::Tree::TreeI object (FIXME: optional if this is done in a first run)
-params => a hashref of PAML parameters (all passed to set_parameter)
-executable => where the evolver executable resides

prepare
Title : prepare
Usage : my $rundir = $evolver->prepare($aln);
Function: prepare the evolver analysis using the default or updated parameters
the alignment parameter must have been set

L<Bio::Tree::TreeI> object [optional]
run
Title : run
Usage : my ($rc,$parser) = $evolver->run();
Function: run the evolver analysis using the default or updated parameters
the alignment parameter must have been set
Returns : Return code, L<Bio::Tools::Phylo::PAML>
Args : L<Bio::Align::AlignI> object,
