[Bioperl-l] Generating a consensus sequence from a Clustal alignment

[Jun Yin]

Hi, Bill,

 

There are several methods you can choose from Bio::SimpleAlign to build
subalignment. For example, you can use $aln->slice  to get part of your
alignment, and then you can calculate concensus sequence from subalignment.
Another method $aln->remove_gaps, which can remove gap containing columns.

So, I've got the SimpleAlign running. It looks like it's running the
alignment based upon the input sequence location only (first residue from
each sequence).  This is not what I need. 

I'm back to to clustal, tcoffee or dalign.

Hi, Bill,

You may consider to use consensus_iupac or consensus_string methods in
Bio::SimpleAlign to generate consensus sequence.

Bill,

Actually, the page you reached at Pasteur is not Pise, but Mobyle (their
replacement for the older Pise tools).  The Pise modules were in
BioPerl-Run, but they were deprecated a few years ago and removed from the
latest BioPerl-Run releases b/c the remote service is no longer active;
there is no Perl-based replacement for Mobyle interaction.

Have you thought about just using the functionality within the
Bio::SimpleAlign class to generate the consensus?  I'm pretty sure there are
methods in place to do that.
