Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy - Wrapper for Semphy
use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy; # Make a Semphy factory $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy->new(); # Run Semphy with an alignment my $tree = $factory->run($alignfilename); # or with alignment object $tree = $factory->run($bio_simplalign); # you can supply an initial tree as well, which can be a newick tree file, # Bio::Tree::Tree object... $tree = $factory->run($bio_simplalign, $tree_obj); # ... or Bio::DB::Taxonomy object $tree = $factory->run($bio_simplalign, $bio_db_taxonomy); # (mixtures of all the above are possible) # $tree isa Bio::Tree::Tree
This is a wrapper for running the Semphy application by N. Friedman et a.. You can get details here: http://compbio.cs.huji.ac.il/semphy/. Semphy is used for phylogenetic reconstruction (making a tree with branch lengths from an aligned set of input sequences).
You can try supplying normal Semphy command-line arguments to new(), eg. new(-hky => 1) or calling arg-named methods (excluding the initial hyphen(s), eg. $factory->hky(1) to set the --hky switch to true). Note that Semphy args are case-sensitive. To distinguish between Bioperl's -verbose and the Semphy's --verbose, you must set Semphy's verbosity with -semphy_verbose or the semphy_verbose() method.
You will need to enable this Semphy wrapper to find the Semphy program. This can be done in (at least) three ways:
1. Make sure the Semphy executable is in your path.
2. Define an environmental variable SEMPHYDIR which is a
directory which contains the Semphy application:
In bash:
export SEMPHYDIR=/home/username/semphy/
In csh/tcsh:
setenv SEMPHYDIR /home/username/semphy
3. Include a definition of an environmental variable SEMPHYDIR in
every script that will use this Semphy wrapper module, e.g.:
BEGIN { $ENV{SEMPHYDIR} = '/home/username/semphy/' }
use Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy;
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

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

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : program_name Usage : $factory>program_name() Function: holds the program name Returns : string Args : None
Title : program_dir Usage : $factory->program_dir(@params) Function: returns the program directory, obtained from ENV variable. Returns : string Args : None
Title : new
Usage : $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy->new()
Function: creates a new Semphy factory
Returns : Bio::Tools::Run::Phylo::Semphy
Args : Most options understood by Semphy can be supplied as key =>
value pairs, with a true value for switches.
These options can NOT be used with this wrapper (they are handled
internally or don't make sense in this context):
-h | --help | --fill-help
-s | --sequence
-t | --tree
To distinguish between Bioperl's -verbose and the Semphy's --verbose,
you must set Semphy's verbosity with -semphy_verbose
Title : run
Usage : $result = $factory->run($fasta_align_file);
-or-
$result = $factory->run($align_object);
-or-
$result = $factory->run($fasta_align_file, $newick_tree_file);
-or-
$result = $factory->run($align_object, $tree_object);
-or-
$result = $factory->run($align_object, $db_taxonomy_object);
Function: Runs Semphy on an alignment.
Returns : Bio::Tree::Tree
Args : The first argument represents an alignment, the second (optional)
argument a species tree (to set an initial tree: normally the -t
option to Semphy).
The alignment can be provided as a multi-fasta format alignment
filename, or a Bio::Align::AlignI compliant object (eg. a
Bio::SimpleAlign).
The species tree can be provided as a newick format tree filename
or a Bio::Tree::TreeI compliant object. Alternatively a
Bio::DB::Taxonomy object can be supplied, in which case the species
tree will be generated by using the alignment sequence names as
species names and looking for those in the supplied database.
In all cases where an initial tree was supplied, the alignment
sequence names must correspond to node ids in the species tree.
Title : _setparams Usage : Internal function, not to be called directly Function: Creates a string of params to be used in the command string Returns : string of params Args : alignment and tree file names
