Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics(3) Calculate Protein Alignment statistics (mostly distances)

SYNOPSIS


use Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics;
use Bio::AlignIO;
my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'fasta',
-file => 'pep-104.fasaln');
my $aln = $in->next_aln;
my $pepstats = Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics->new();
$kimura = $protstats->distance(-align => $aln,
-method => 'Kimura');
print $kimura->print_matrix;

DESCRIPTION

This object is for generating various statistics from a protein alignment. Mostly it is where pairwise protein distances can be calculated.

APPENDIX

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

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics object 
 Returns : an instance of Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics
 Args    :

distance

 Title   : distance
 Usage   : my $distance_mat = $stats->distance(-align  => $aln, 
                                               -method => $method);
 Function: Calculates a distance matrix for all pairwise distances of
           sequences in an alignment.
