NAME
Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phyml - Wrapper for rapid reconstruction of phylogenies using
Phyml
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phyml;
# Make a Phyml factory
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phyml->new(-verbose => 2);
# it defaults to protein alignment
# change parameters
$factory->model('Dayhoff');
# Pass the factory an alignment and run
$inputfilename = 't/data/protpars.phy';
$tree = $factory->run($inputfilename); # $tree is a Bio::Tree::Tree object.
# or set parameters at object creation
my %args = (
-data_type => 'dna',
-model => 'HKY',
-kappa => 4,
-invar => 'e',
-category_number => 4,
-alpha => 'e',
-tree => 'BIONJ',
-opt_topology => '0',
-opt_lengths => '1',
);
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phyml->new(%args);
# if you need the output files do
$factory->save_tempfiles(1);
$factory->tempdir($workdir);
# and get a Bio::Align::AlignI (SimpleAlign) object from somewhere
$tree = $factory->run($aln);
DESCRIPTION
This is a wrapper for running the phyml application by Stephane Guindon and Olivier
Gascuel. You can download it from: http://atgc.lirmm.fr/phyml/
Installing
After downloading, you need to rename a the copy of the program that runs under your
operating system. I.e. "phyml_linux" into "phyml".
You will need to help this Phyml wrapper to find the "phyml" program. This can be done in
(at least) three ways:
1. Make sure the Phyml executable is in your path. Copy it to, or create a symbolic link
from a directory that is in your path.
2. Define an environmental variable PHYMLDIR which is a directory which contains the
'phyml' application: In bash:
export PHYMLDIR=/home/username/phyml_v2.4.4/exe
In csh/tcsh:
setenv PHYMLDIR /home/username/phyml_v2.4.4/exe
3. Include a definition of an environmental variable PHYMLDIR in every script that will
use this Phyml wrapper module, e.g.:
BEGIN { $ENV{PHYMLDIR} = '/home/username/phyml_v2.4.4/exe' }
use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phyml;
Running
This wrapper has been tested with PHYML v2.4.4 and v.3.0
In its current state, the wrapper supports only input of one MSA and output of one tree.
It can easily be extended to support more advanced capabilities of "phyml".
Two convienience methods have been added on top of the standard BioPerl WrapperBase ones:
stats() and tree_string(). You can call them to after running the phyml program to
retrieve into a string the statistics and the tree in Newick format.
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.
bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion
http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists
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.
Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
