NAME

Bio::MolEvol::CodonModel - Codon Evolution Models

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::MolEvol::CodonModel;

my $codon_path = Bio::MolEvol::CodonModel->codon_path;
my ($ns, $syn) = $codon_path->{'AATAAC'};
print "AAT -> AAC: $ns ns mutations, $syn syn mutations\n";

DESCRIPTION

This object is intended to group Codon Evolution Models. Currently it has one method codon_path that returns a hash reference representing the number of mutations it takes to mutate from one codon to another. Some more description of how this is generated will follow later. Additional codon evolution models and substitution matricies could be represented here as well. Some of this may not be optimally named so this can change before the next stable release of the BioPerl code.

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.

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:

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

codon_path

Title   : codon_path
Usage   : return a matrix of edit paths between codons
Example : my $codon_path = Bio::MolEvol::CodonModel->codon_path;
Returns : Hash reference, the array values for each codon path are num of Nonsyn & syn changes respectively.
Args    : none
