NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

#Create a SimpleAlign object
@params = ('ktuple' => 2, 'matrix' => 'BLOSUM');
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw->new(@params);
$inputfilename = 't/data/cysprot.fa';
$aln = $factory->run($inputfilename); # $aln is a SimpleAlign object.


# Create the Distance Matrix using a default PAM matrix and id name
# lengths limit of 30 note to use id name length greater than the
# standard 10 in protdist, you will need to modify the protdist source
# code

@params = ('MODEL' => 'PAM');
$protdist_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(@params);

my ($matrix)  = $protdist_factory->run($aln); # an array of Bio::Matrix::PhylipDist matrix

#finding the distance between two sequences
my $distance = $matrix->get_entry('protein_name_1','protein_name_2');
my @column   = $matrix->get_column('protein_name_1');
my @row      = $martrix->get_row('protein_name_1');
my @diag     = $matrix->get_diagonal();
print $matrix->print_matrix;


#Alternatively, one can create the matrix by passing in a file 
#name containing a multiple alignment in phylip format
$protdist_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new(@params);
my ($matrix)  = $protdist_factory->run('/home/shawnh/prot.phy');

# 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();      #   $ref_name holds original names
# Step 2. Run ProtDist and Neighbor:
  ($matrix) = $protdist_factory->
             create_distance_matrix($aln_safe); #  Use $aln_safe instead of $aln
  ($tree) = $neighbor_factory->run($matrix);
# Step 3. Retrieve orgininal OTU names:
  use Bio::Tree::Tree;
  my @nodes=$tree->get_nodes();
  foreach my $nd (@nodes){
     $nd->id($ref_name->{$nd->id_output}) if $nd->is_Leaf;
  }

DESCRIPTION

Wrapper for protdist Joseph Felsentein for creating a distance matrix comparing protein sequences from a multiple alignment file or a Bio::SimpleAlign object and returns a Bio::Matrix::PhylipDist object;

VERSION Support

This wrapper currently supports v3.5 of phylip. There is also support for v3.6.
