43             'gapstart' => -50,
44             'gapend' => -50,
45             'gapcont' => -2,
46             );
47              
48              
49             =head1 DESCRIPTION
50              
51             To run mlagan/lagan, you must have an environment variable that points to
52             the executable directory with files lagan.pl etc.
53             "LAGAN_DIR=/opt/lagan_executables/"
54              
55             Simply having the executables in your path is not supported because the
56             executables themselves only work with the environment variable set.
57              
58             All lagan and mlagan parameters listed in their Readmes can be set
59             except for the mfa flag which has been turned on by default to prevent
60             parsing of the alignment format.
61              
62             TO USE LAGAN:
63              
64             my $lagan = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Lagan->new(@params);
65             my $report_out = $lagan->lagan($seq1, $seq2);
66              
67             A SimpleAlign object is returned.
68              
69             TO USE MLAGAN:
70              
71             my $lagan = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Lagan->new();
72             my $tree = "(($seqname1 $seqname2) $seqname3)";
73             my @sequence_objs; #an array of bioperl Seq objects
74              
75             ##If you use an unblessed seq array
76             my $seq_ref = \@sequence_objs;
77             bless $seq_ref, "ARRAY";
78              
79             my $report_out = $lagan->mlagan($seq_ref, $tree);
80              
81             A SimpleAlign object is returned
82              
83             Only basic mlagan/lagan functionality has been implemented due to the
84             iterative development of their project. Future maintenance upgrades
85             will include enhanced features and scoring.

257             $obj->nuc_matrix($matrix_obj);
258             -or-
259             $obj->nuc_matrix($matrix_file);
260             Function: Get/set the substitution matrix for use by mlagan. By default the
261             file $LAGAN_DIR/nucmatrix.txt is used by mlagan. By default this
262             method returns a corresponding Matrix.
263             Returns : Bio::Matrix::Mlagan object
264             Args : none to get, OR to set:
265             Bio::Matrix::MLagan object
266             OR
267             filename of an mlagan substitution matrix file
268              
269             NB: due to a bug in mlagan 2.0, the -nucmatrixfile option does not
270             work, so this Bioperl wrapper is unable to simply point mlagan to
271             your desired matrix file (or to a temp file generated from your
272             matrix object). Instead the $LAGAN_DIR/nucmatrix.txt file must
273             actually be replaced. This wrapper will make a back-up copy of that
274             file, write the new file in its place, then revert things back to the
275             way they were after the alignment has been produced. For this reason,
276             $LAGAN_DIR must be writable, as must $LAGAN_DIR/nucmatrix.txt.
