NAME
Bio::PopGen::Utilities - Utilities for working with PopGen data and objects
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::PopGen::Utilities;
use Bio::AlignIO;
my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file => 't/data/t7.aln',
-format => 'clustalw');
my $aln = $in->next_aln;
# get a population, each sequence is an individual and
# for the default case, every site which is not monomorphic
# is a 'marker'. Each individual will have a 'genotype' for the
# site which will be the specific base in the alignment at that
# site
my $pop = Bio::PopGen::Utilities->aln_to_population(-alignment => $aln);
# get the synonymous sites from the alignemt only as the 'genotypes'
# for the population
my $synpop = Bio::PopGen::Utilities->aln_to_population(-site_model => 'cod',
-alignment => $aln);
DESCRIPTION
This object provides some convience function to turn sequence alignments into usable objects for the Population genetics modules
(Bio::PopGen).
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the
Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
Reporting Bugs

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
aln_to_population
Title : aln_to_population
Usage : my $pop = Bio::PopGen::Utilities->aln_to_population($aln);
Function: Turn and alignment into a set of L<Bio::PopGen::Individual>
objects grouped in a L<Bio::PopGen::Population> object
Sites are treated as 'Markers' in the Bioperl PopGen object
model in the sense that a site is a unique location for which
an individual will have a genotype (a set of alleles).
In this implementation we are assuming that each individual
has a single entry in the alignment file.
Specify a site model as one of those listed
'all' -- every base in the alignment is considered a site
'cod' -- codons
The option -site_model
for All sites : 'all'
Codon sites : 'cod' or 'codon'
To see all sites, including those which are fixed in the population
add -include_monomorphic => 1
to the arguments
Returns :
Args : -include_monomorphic => 1 to specify all sites,
even those which are monomorphic
in the population
(useful for HKA test mostly)
[default is false]
-phase => specify a phase for the data, this is only
used if the site_mode is codon
[default is 0]
-site_model => one-of 'all', 'codon'
to specify a site model for the data extraction
from the alignment
[default is all]
-alignment => provide a L<Bio::SimpleAlign> object [required]
