man Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist (3): Wrapper for the phylip

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.
