NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense - Wrapper for the phylip program Consense

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense;
  use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::SeqBoot;
  use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist;
  use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Neighbor;
  use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::DrawTree;


  #first get an alignment
  my $aio= Bio::AlignIO->new(-file=>$ARGV[0],-format=>"clustalw");
  my $aln = $aio->next_aln;

  # To prevent truncation of sequence names by PHYLIP runs, use set_displayname_safe
  my ($aln_safe, $ref_name)=$aln->set_displayname_safe();

  #next use seqboot to generate multiple aligments
  my @params = ('datatype'=>'SEQUENCE','replicates'=>10);
  my $seqboot_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::SeqBoot->new(@params);

  my $aln_ref= $seqboot_factory->run($aln);

  Or, for long sequence names:

  my $aln_ref= $seqboot_factory->run($aln_safe);

  #next build distance matrices and construct trees
  my $pd_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::ProtDist->new();
  my $ne_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Neighbor->new();

  foreach my $a (@{$aln_ref}){
    my $mat = $pd_factory->create_distance_matrix($a);
    push @tree, $ne_factory->create_tree($mat);
  }

  #now use consense to get a final tree
  my $con_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::Consense->new();

  #you may set outgroup either by the number representing the order in
  #which species are entered or by the name of the species

  $con_factory->outgroup(1);
  $con_factory->outgroup('HUMAN');

  my $tree = $con_factory->run(\@tree);

  # Restore original sequence names, after ALL phylip runs:
  my @nodes = $tree->get_nodes();
  foreach my $nd (@nodes){
     $nd->id($ref_name->{$nd->id_output}) if $nd->is_Leaf;
  }

  #now draw the tree
  my $draw_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Phylip::DrawTree->new();
  my $image_filename = $draw_factory->draw_tree($tree);

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 available 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.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
