Bio::AlignIO::phylip(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::AlignIO::phylip(3)

Bio::AlignIO::phylip - PHYLIP format sequence input/output stream

Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::AlignIO class.

This example shows how to write to phylip format:

    use Bio::AlignIO;
    use Bio::SimpleAlign;

    # Use -idlength to set the name length to something other than
    # the default 10 if you need longer ids.
    my $phylipstream = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format   => 'phylip',
                                         -fh       => \*STDOUT,
                                         -idlength => 30);
    # Convert data from one format to another
    my $gcgstream = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'msf',
                                      -file   => 't/data/cysprot1a.msf');

    while( my $aln = $gcgstream->next_aln ) {
        $phylipstream->write_aln($aln);
    }

    # With phylip sequential format format
    $phylipstream->interleaved(0);
    # Or initialize the object like this
    $phylipstream = Bio::AlignIO->new(-interleaved => 0,
                                      -format      => 'phylip',
                                      -fh          => \*STDOUT,
                                      -idlength    => 20 );
    $gcgstream = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'msf',
                                   -file   => 't/data/cysprot1a.msf');

    while( my $aln = $gcgstream->next_aln ) {
        $phylipstream->write_aln($aln);
    }

This example shows how to read phylip format:

    my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(
      -file        => $inFile,
      -format      => 'phylip',
      -interleaved => 0,
      -longid      => 1
    );

    my $out = Bio::AlignIO->new(
      -file   => ">$outFile",
      -format => 'fasta'
    );

    while ( my $aln = $in->next_aln() ) {
      $out->write_aln($aln);
    }

The -longid argument is required if the input phylip format file has ids with lengths greater then 10 characters.

This object can transform Bio::SimpleAlign objects to and from PHYLIP format. By default it works with the interleaved format. By specifying the flag -interleaved => 0 in the initialization the module can read or write data in sequential format.

Reading phylip format with long IDs up to 50 characters is supported by the flag -longid =>1. ID strings can be surrounded by single quotes. They are mandatory only if the IDs contain spaces.

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.

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

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

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $alignio = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'phylip'
            -file   => '>file',
            -idlength => 10,
            -idlinebreak => 1);
 Function: Initialize a new L<Bio::AlignIO::phylip> reader or writer
 Returns : L<Bio::AlignIO> object
 Args    : [specific for writing of phylip format files]
           -idlength => integer - length of the id (will pad w/
                        spaces if needed) when writing phylip
           -interleaved => boolean - whether interleaved
                           or sequential format required
           -line_length  => integer of how long a sequence lines should be
           -idlinebreak => insert a line break after the sequence id
                           so that sequence starts on the next line
           -flag_SI => whether or not write a "S" or "I" just after
