Hi,
I know that BioJava 1.5 can do pairwise alignments using algorithms like SmithWaterman and NeedlemanWunch. But can BioJava do multiple alignments like the algorthm used for ClustalW? I have also checked the HMM classes, but they appear to only do pairwise alignments.

Hi,
The information is true. Biojava 1.5 has the main algorithms of alignment
as NeedlemanWunch, SmithWaterman and other implementations that are
encapsulated on package org.biojava.bio.alignment
All source is disponible in this link :
http://www.biojava.org/download/bj15b/all/biojava-1.5-beta.tar.gz
and the jar file is disponible in:
http://www.biojava.org/download/bj15b/bin/biojava-1.5-beta.jar
and the javadoc:
http://www.biojava.org/download/bj15b/doc/doc.tar.gz
I wait to have helped

Hi -
You can also perform an alignment using HMMs in biojava 1.3 and 1.4. See
the example at (http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:CookBook:DP:PairWise).
This is actually the most flexible way to do it.

I have recently installed some more software for which there are
bioperl-run tests and run the test suite with several versions of the
software I could find. I've added info to
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/Release_1.5.2#bioperl-run. If there were any
fails in any of the versions I tested I've noted them together with
versions that were ok (if any).
There maybe another 6 or so programs I'm trying to get hold of to run
further tests - I'll update when I get them.

To: biojava-l at lists.open-bio.org

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi,
I want to do something very simple:
- get id and sequence from a database
- create a sequence object
- write it out as fasta format file (with a defined description line)
this is my code:
rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
Feature.Template templ = new Feature.Template();
//fill in the template
Annotation an = new SimpleAnnotation();
templ.location = Location.empty;
while (rs.next()) {
mepdId = rs.getInt(1);
mepdName = rs.getString(2);
seq = rs.getString(3);
seqObj = DNATools.createDNASequence(seq, mepdName);
an.setProperty(FastaFormat.PROPERTY_DESCRIPTIONLINE, "my description
here");
templ.annotation = an;
seqObj.createFeature(templ);
SeqIOTools.writeFasta(fastaFos, seqObj);
//db.addSequence(seqObj);
}
It works fine, but there is no description line in the resulting file!
How can I change the fasta description line?
Also I am using deprecated methods, but could not find out what to use
instead:
FastaFormat.PROPERTY_DESCRIPTIONLINE
SeqIOTools.writeFasta
All tutorials I found are using the deprecated.
Cheers,
Thorsten

Hi!
I want to compute the pI of some sequences. I looked at "IsoelectricPointCalc.java". Where do the values for the pks come from? are they defined as constants somewhere? I couldn't find them... I wanted to see if the values are the same ones than the ones that I am supposed to use.
And another question> reading in sequences from an xml file... Is there something that I can use, or do I have to write it on my own?
Cheers

Hi -
If you are using biojava 1.5 beta (recommended) you should use
RichSequence.IOTools to write the fasta (strongly recommended).
With the new org.biojavax.bio.seq.io.FastaFormat object the
description line is constructed from:
richSequence.getIdentifier()
richSequence.getNamespace().getName();
richSequence.getAccession()
richSequence.getVersion()
richSequence.getName()
richSequence.getDescription()

Hi -
The values are calculated using the SymbolPropertyTable returned by
ProteinTools.getSymbolPropertyTable(SymbolPropertyTable.PK);
This table gets it's values from the resource file
org/biojava/bio/symbol/ResidueProperties.xml
The pK values were added by david huen (I think).
To read XML sequence files try one of the methods in
RichSequence.IOTools from biojava 1.5 beta.

I used the same pK values as those used by GCG to maintian

Hi,
I'm developing on Windows (using Apache Tomcat) using jsp's to create BLAST
searches on a local BLAST database. Even though I'm not using BioJava
(intend to use it to parse the results), I thought this formum would be the
best place to ask for help.
Even when I hard code a good BLAST search I keep getting the same error when
I run my search, namely:
" java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: sh -c "C:/Program Files/Apache
Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5/blast/bin/blastall -p blastn -d ecoli.nt -i
test.fas -o blast.out" error=2 "
The pertinent bits of code I'm using are...
String cmd = "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat
5.5/blast/bin/blastall -p blastn -d ecoli.nt -i test.fas -o blast.out";
............
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime ();
Process runBlast = r.exec (new String[] {"sh","-c",cmd});
runBlast.waitFor ();
out.println ("Waiting for result");
//Write the results
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new FileReader (output));
String line = null;
String results = "";
while ( (line = br.readLine ()) != null )
results = results.concat ("/n" + line);
.............
I'm not sure why it give me an IOException. I've checked that the file input
file exists and that all the paths are correct.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Graham
