=head1 NAME
Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw - Object for the calculation of a
multiple sequence alignment from a set of unaligned sequences or
alignments using the Clustalw program
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Build a clustalw alignment factory
@params = ('ktuple' => 2, 'matrix' => 'BLOSUM');
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw->new(@params);
# Pass the factory a list of sequences to be aligned.
$inputfilename = 't/data/cysprot.fa';
$aln = $factory->align($inputfilename); # $aln is a SimpleAlign object.
# or
$seq_array_ref = \@seq_array;
# where @seq_array is an array of Bio::Seq objects
$aln = $factory->align($seq_array_ref);
# Or one can pass the factory a pair of (sub)alignments
#to be aligned against each other, e.g.:
$aln = $factory->profile_align($aln1,$aln2);
# where $aln1 and $aln2 are Bio::SimpleAlign objects.
# Or one can pass the factory an alignment and one or more unaligned
# sequences to be added to the alignment. For example:
$aln = $factory->profile_align($aln1,$seq); # $seq is a Bio::Seq object.
# Get a tree of the sequences
$tree = $factory->tree(\@seq_array);
# Get both an alignment and a tree
($aln, $tree) = $factory->run(\@seq_array);
# Do a footprinting analysis on the supplied sequences, getting back the
# most conserved sub-alignments
my @results = $factory->footprint(\@seq_array);
foreach my $result (@results) {
print $result->consensus_string, "\n";
}
# There are various additional options and input formats available.
# See the DESCRIPTION section that follows for additional details.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Note: this DESCRIPTION only documents the Bioperl interface to
Clustalw. Clustalw, itself, is a large & complex program - for more
information regarding clustalw, please see the clustalw documentation
which accompanies the clustalw distribution. Clustalw is available
from (among others) ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/. Clustalw.pm has
only been tested using version 1.8 of clustalw. Compatibility with
earlier versions of the clustalw program is currently unknown. Before
running Clustalw successfully it will be necessary: to install clustalw
on your system, and to ensure that users have execute privileges for
the clustalw program.
=head2 Helping the module find your executable
You will need to enable Clustalw to find the clustalw program. This
can be done in (at least) three ways:
1. Make sure the clustalw executable is in your path so that
which clustalw
returns a clustalw executable on your system.
2. Define an environmental variable CLUSTALDIR which is a
directory which contains the 'clustalw' application:
In bash:
export CLUSTALDIR=/home/username/clustalw1.8
In csh/tcsh:
setenv CLUSTALDIR /home/username/clustalw1.8
3. Include a definition of an environmental variable CLUSTALDIR in
every script that will use this Clustalw wrapper module, e.g.:
BEGIN { $ENV{CLUSTALDIR} = '/home/username/clustalw1.8/' }
use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw;
If you are running an application on a webserver make sure the
webserver environment has the proper PATH set or use the options 2 or
3 to set the variables.
=head2 How it works
Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw is an object for performing a
multiple sequence alignment from a set of unaligned sequences and/or
sub-alignments by means of the clustalw program.
Initially, a clustalw "factory object" is created. Optionally, the
factory may be passed most of the parameters or switches of the
clustalw program, e.g.:
@params = ('ktuple' => 2, 'matrix' => 'BLOSUM');
$factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw->new(@params);
Any parameters not explicitly set will remain as the defaults of the
clustalw program. Additional parameters and switches (not available
in clustalw) may also be set. Currently, the only such parameter is
"quiet", which when set to a non-zero value, suppresses clustalw
terminal output. Not all clustalw parameters are supported at this
stage.
By default, Clustalw output is returned solely in a the form of a
Bio::SimpleAlign object which can then be printed and/or saved
in multiple formats using the AlignIO.pm module. Optionally the raw
clustalw output file can be saved if the calling script specifies an
output file (with the clustalw parameter OUTFILE). Currently only the
GCG-MSF output file formats is supported.
Not all parameters and features have been implemented yet in Perl format.
Alignment parameters can be changed and/or examined at any time after
the factory has been created. The program checks that any
parameter/switch being set/read is valid. However, currently no
additional checks are included to check that parameters are of the
proper type (eg string or numeric) or that their values are within the
proper range. As an example, to change the value of the clustalw
parameter ktuple to 3 and subsequently to check its value one would
write:
$ktuple = 3;
$factory->ktuple($ktuple);
$get_ktuple = $factory->ktuple();
Once the factory has been created and the appropriate parameters set,
one can call the method align() to align a set of unaligned sequences,
or call profile_align() to add one or more sequences or a second
alignment to an initial alignment.
Input to align() may consist of a set of unaligned sequences in the
form of the name of file containing the sequences. For example,
$inputfilename = 't/data/cysprot.fa';
$aln = $factory-E<gt>align($inputfilename);
Alternately one can create an array of Bio::Seq objects somehow
$str = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=> 't/data/cysprot.fa', -format => 'Fasta');
@seq_array =();
while ( my $seq = $str->next_seq() ) {push (@seq_array, $seq) ;}
and pass the factory a reference to that array
$seq_array_ref = \@seq_array;
$aln = $factory->align($seq_array_ref);
In either case, align() returns a reference to a SimpleAlign object
which can then used (see L<Bio::SimpleAlign>).
Once an initial alignment exists, one can pass the factory additional
sequence(s) to be added (ie aligned) to the original alignment. The
alignment can be passed as either an alignment file or a
Bio:SimpleAlign object. The unaligned sequence(s) can be passed as a
filename or as an array of BioPerl sequence objects or as a single
BioPerl Seq object. For example (to add a single sequence to an
alignment),
$str = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file=> 't/data/cysprot1a.msf');
$aln = $str->next_aln();
$str1 = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=> 't/data/cysprot1b.fa');
$seq = $str1->next_seq();
$aln = $factory->profile_align($aln,$seq);
In either case, profile_align() returns a reference to a SimpleAlign
object containing a new SimpleAlign object of the alignment with the
additional sequence(s) added in.
Finally one can pass the factory a pair of (sub)alignments to be
aligned against each other. The alignments can be passed in the form
of either a pair of alignment files or a pair of Bio:SimpleAlign
objects. For example,
$profile1 = 't/data/cysprot1a.msf';
$profile2 = 't/data/cysprot1b.msf';
$aln = $factory->profile_align($profile1,$profile2);
or
$str1 = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file=> 't/data/cysprot1a.msf');
$aln1 = $str1->next_aln();
$str2 = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file=> 't/data/cysprot1b.msf');
$aln2 = $str2->next_aln();
$aln = $factory->profile_align($aln1,$aln2);
In either case, profile_align() returns a reference to a SimpleAlign
object containing an (super)alignment of the two input alignments.
For more examples of syntax and use of Clustalw, the user is
encouraged to look at the script Clustalw.t in the t/ directory.
Note: Clustalw is still under development. Various features of the
clustalw program have not yet been implemented. If you would like
that a specific clustalw feature be added to this perl contact
bioperl-l@bioperl.org.
These can be specified as parameters when instantiating a new Clustalw
object, or through get/set methods of the same name (lowercase).
=head1 PARAMETER FOR ALIGNMENT COMPUTATION
=head2 KTUPLE
Title : KTUPLE
Description : (optional) set the word size to be used in the alignment
This is the size of exactly matching fragment that is used.
INCREASE for speed (max= 2 for proteins; 4 for DNA),
DECREASE for sensitivity.
For longer sequences (e.g. >1000 residues) you may
need to increase the default
=head2 TOPDIAGS
Title : TOPDIAGS
Description : (optional) number of best diagonals to use
The number of k-tuple matches on each diagonal
(in an imaginary dot-matrix plot) is calculated.
Only the best ones (with most matches) are used in
the alignment. This parameter specifies how many.
Decrease for speed; increase for sensitivity.
=head2 WINDOW
Title : WINDOW
Description : (optional) window size
This is the number of diagonals around each of the 'best'
diagonals that will be used. Decrease for speed;
increase for sensitivity.
=head2 PAIRGAP
Title : PAIRGAP
Description : (optional) gap penalty for pairwise alignments
This is a penalty for each gap in the fast alignments.
It has little affect on the speed or sensitivity except
for extreme values.
=head2 FIXEDGAP
Title : FIXEDGAP
Description : (optional) fixed length gap penalty
=head2 FLOATGAP
Title : FLOATGAP
Description : (optional) variable length gap penalty
=head2 MATRIX
Title : MATRIX
Default : PAM100 for DNA - PAM250 for protein alignment
Description : (optional) substitution matrix used in the multiple
alignments. Depends on the version of clustalw as to
what default matrix will be used
PROTEIN WEIGHT MATRIX leads to a new menu where you are
offered a choice of weight matrices. The default for
proteins in version 1.8 is the PAM series derived by
Gonnet and colleagues. Note, a series is used! The
actual matrix that is used depends on how similar the
sequences to be aligned at this alignment step
are. Different matrices work differently at each
evolutionary distance.
DNA WEIGHT MATRIX leads to a new menu where a single
matrix (not a series) can be selected. The default is
the matrix used by BESTFIT for comparison of nucleic
acid sequences.
=head2 TYPE
Title : TYPE
Description : (optional) sequence type: protein or DNA. This allows
you to explicitly overide the programs attempt at
guessing the type of the sequence. It is only useful
if you are using sequences with a VERY strange
composition.
=head2 OUTPUT
Title : OUTPUT
Description : (optional) clustalw supports GCG or PHYLIP or PIR or
Clustal format. See the Bio::AlignIO modules for
which formats are supported by bioperl.
=head2 OUTFILE
Title : OUTFILE
Description : (optional) Name of clustalw output file. If not set
module will erase output file. In any case alignment will
be returned in the form of SimpleAlign objects
=head2 TRANSMIT
Title : TRANSMIT
Description : (optional) transitions not weighted. The default is to
weight transitions as more favourable than other
mismatches in DNA alignments. This switch makes all
nucleotide mismatches equally weighted.
