class Bio::MAFFT

Bio::MAFFT is a wrapper class to execute MAFFT. MAFFT is a very fast multiple sequence alignment software.

Though Bio::MAFFT class currently supports only MAFFT version 3, you can use MAFFT version 5 because the class is a wrapper class.

Attributes

command[R]

Shows last command-line string. Returns nil or an array of String. Note that filenames described in the command-line may already be removed because they are temporary files.

data_stdout[RW]

Last output to the stdout.

exit_status[R]

Last exit status

options[RW]

options

output[R]

Shows latest raw alignment result. Return a string. (Changed in bioruby-1.1.0). Compatibility note: If you want an array of Bio::FastaFormat instances, you should use report.data instead.

program[RW]

program name (usually ‘mafft’ in UNIX)

report[R]

Shows last alignment result (instance of Bio::MAFFT::Report class) performed by the factory.

Public Class Methods

fftns(n = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. When n is a number (1,2,3, …), performs ‘fftns n’. When n is :i or ‘i’, performs ‘fftnsi’.

   # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
47 def self.fftns(n = nil)
48   opt = []
49   if n.to_s == 'i' then
50     self.new2(nil, 'fftnsi', *opt)
51   else
52     opt << n.to_s if n
53     self.new2(nil, 'fftns', *opt)
54   end
55 end
fftnsi() click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. Performs ‘fftnsi’.

   # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
59 def self.fftnsi
60   self.new2(nil, 'fftnsi')
61 end
new(program = 'mafft', opt = []) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. program is the name of the program. opt is options of the program.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
108 def initialize(program = 'mafft', opt = [])
109   @program = program
110   @options = opt
111   @command = nil
112   @output = nil
113   @report = nil
114   @data_stdout = nil
115   @exit_status = nil
116 end
new2(dir, prog, *opt) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. dir is the path of the MAFFT program. prog is the name of the program. opt is options of the program.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
 98 def self.new2(dir, prog, *opt)
 99   if dir then
100     prog = File.join(dir, prog)
101   end
102   self.new(prog, opt)
103 end
nwap(n = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. Performs ‘nwns –all-positive n’ or ‘nwnsi –all-positive’. Same as Bio::MAFFT.nwap(n, true).

   # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
90 def self.nwap(n = nil)
91   self.nwns(n, true)
92 end
nwns(n = nil, ap = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. When n is a number (1,2,3, …), performs ‘nwns n’. When n is :i or ‘i’, performs ‘nwnsi’. In both case, if all_positive is true, add option ‘–all-positive’.

   # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
67 def self.nwns(n = nil, ap = nil)
68   opt = []
69   opt << '--all-positive' if ap
70   if n.to_s == 'i' then
71     self.new2(nil, 'nwnsi', *opt)
72   else
73     opt << n.to_s if n
74     self.new2(nil, 'nwns', *opt)
75   end
76 end
nwnsi(all_positive = nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new alignment factory. Performs ‘nwnsi’. If all_positive is true, add option ‘–all-positive’.

   # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
81 def self.nwnsi(all_positive = nil)
82   opt = []
83   opt << '--all-positive' if all_positive
84   self.new2(nil, 'nwnsi', *opt)
85 end

log is deprecated (no replacement) and returns empty string.

141 def log
142   warn "Bio::MAFFT#log is deprecated (no replacement) and returns empty string."
143   ''
144 end
option() click to toggle source

option is deprecated. Instead, please use options.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
125 def option
126   warn "Bio::MAFFT#option is deprecated. Please use options."
127   options
128 end
query(seqs) click to toggle source

Executes the program. If seqs is not nil, perform alignment for seqs. If seqs is nil, simply executes the program.

Compatibility note: When seqs is nil, returns true if the program exits normally, and returns false if the program exits abnormally.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
179 def query(seqs)
180   if seqs then
181     query_align(seqs)
182   else
183     exec_local(@options)
184     @exit_status.exitstatus == 0 ? true : false
185   end
186 end
query_align(seqs, *arg) click to toggle source

Note that this method will be renamed to query_alignment.

Performs alignment for seqs. seqs should be Bio::Alignment or Array of sequences or nil.

Compatibility Note: arg is deprecated and ignored.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
194 def query_align(seqs, *arg)
195   if arg.size > 0 then

200   end
201   query_string(seqs.output_fasta(:width => 70))

query_alignment(seqs) click to toggle source

Performs alignment for seqs. seqs should be Bio::Alignment or Array of sequences or nil.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb

207   query_align(seqs)
208 end
query_by_filename(fn, *arg) click to toggle source

Performs alignment of sequences in the file named fn.

Compatibility Note: 2nd argument (seqtype) is deprecated and ignored.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
232 def query_by_filename(fn, *arg)
233   if arg.size > 0 then
234     warn '2nd argument of Bio::MAFFT#query_filename is ignored'

238   @report = Report.new(@output)
239   @report
240 end
query_string(str, *arg) click to toggle source

Performs alignment for str. Str should be a string that can be recognized by the program.

Compatibility Note: arg is deprecated and ignored.

    # File lib/bio/appl/mafft.rb
214 def query_string(str, *arg)
215   if arg.size > 0 then
216     warn '2nd and other arguments of Bio::MAFFT#query_string is ignored'

225   tf_in.close(true)
226   r
227 end
reset() click to toggle source

Clear the internal data and status, except program and options.
