DESCRIPTION

Wrapper for phylip consense program

Taken from phylip documentation...

CONSENSE reads a file of computer-readable trees and prints out (and may also write out onto a file) a consensus tree. At the moment it carries out a family of consensus tree methods called the M[l] methods (Margush and McMorris, 1981). These include strict consensus and majority rule consensus. Basically the consensus tree consists of monophyletic groups that occur as often as possible in the data.

More documentation on using Consense and setting parameters may be found in the phylip package.

VERSION Support

This wrapper currently supports v3.5 of phylip. There is also support for v3.6 although this is still experimental as v3.6 is still under alpha release and not all functionalities maybe supported.

PARAMETERS FOR Consense

TYPE

Title : TYPE Description : (optional) Only avaliable in phylip v3.6

     This program supports 3 types of consensus generation 

     MRe   : Majority Rule (extended) Any set of species that
             appears in more than 50% of the trees is included. 
             The program then considers the other sets of species 
             in order of the frequency with which they have appeared, 
             adding to the consensus tree any which are compatible 
             with it until

     STRICT: A set of species must appear in all input trees to be 
             included in the strict consensus tree. 

     MR    :  A set of species is included in the consensus tree 
             if it is present in more than half of the input trees. 

     Ml    : The user is asked for a fraction between 0.5 and 1, and 
             the program then includes in the consensus tree any set 
             of species that occurs among the input trees more than 
             that fraction of then time. The Strict consensus and the 
             Majority Rule consensus are extreme cases of the M[l] consensus,
             being for fractions of 1 and 0.5 respectively

     usage: my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense->new(-type=>"Ml 0.7");


Defaults to MRe 

ROOTED

Title: ROOTED 
Description: (optional)

           toggles between the default assumption that the input trees are unrooted trees and 
           the selection that specifies that the tree is to be treated as a rooted tree and not 
           re-rooted. Otherwise the tree will be treated as outgroup-rooted and will be
           re-rooted automatically at the first species encountered on the first tree 
           (or at a species designated by the Outgroup option)

           usage: my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense->new(-rooted=>1);

           Defaults to unrooted 

OUTGROUP

Title		: OUTGROUP
Description	: (optional)

              It is in effect only if the Rooted option selection is not in effect.
              The trees will be re-rooted with a species of your choosing.

              usage  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense->new(-outgroup=>2);

              Defaults to first species encountered.
