Title: File Ext for Positive Selection Post by Becky on Jul 31st, 2005 at 12:29pm
I have attempted to run a SLAC analysis and run into problems. I think they may be due to the type of input files I use.
First, The data set is large, 369 taxa, 1617 char. I use a fasta file for the data and a netwick tree file from MEGA, the analysis completes phase 4, but I then get this message when I use HYPHY-P3 on windows. "The number of columns in the data matrix must match the dimension of the header matrix in call to Open Window (Chart_Window) Current BL Command:Open window of type CHARTWINDOW with parameters from [Data Rates} {labels}, {fullSites}, {Contrast Bars}, } Current task has been terminated would you like to see the remaining error messages if there are any?" I assume this has something to do with the files I used as inputs, so I tried NEXUS files - but always get this error message- "The number of tree tips in givenTree (369) is not equal to the number of species in the data filter associated with the tree (0). Current BL Command:Construct the following likelihood function:nucData; givenTree; Current Task has been terminated. Would you like to see the remaining error messages, if there are any?" Can you tell me the optimum type of input file format to use and which program to create this file in? I have tried trees from MEGA and PAUP4b. And input files from MEGA and BioEdit. I have used DataMonkey with success, but would like to increase the number of taxa in the analysis- hence my attempt at Hyphy. Any suggestions you have would be helpful. Thanks Becky |

Hi Sergei, Thanks so much for the information. In the first attempt I had selected the "rate distribution". I went back and was able to sucessfully run a SLAC analysis using a fasta file and a nwk file. In only 20 minutes too!!
For NEXUS files, I found that those produces in Clustal X are not compatible with nwk files from MEGA. Also, MEGA NEXUS files must be interleaved in order to be compatible for MEGA nwk files in HYPHY. I will email you the Clustal X NEXUS file- I use this file as an input for PAUP4b, and would eventually like to use tree files I produce in PAUP4b for HYPHY analysis. Thanks for your help Becky |

Dear Becky,
I have identified some problems with my NEXUS reader which caused your file to be rejected. Specifically, your file had the following NEXUS block: Code (] BEGIN DATA; dimensions ntax=189 nchar=1620; format missing=? symbols="ABCDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ" datatype=DNA interleave gap= -; [/code):
Note that the SYMBOLS command actually defines a new character alphabet, and your data will not be interpreted as DNA. In the original header, the DNA datatype will over-ride the symbols command. I am pretty sure that SYMBOLS is inappropriate in this context and is incorrectly output. As written, the block implies that all listed characters (not just ACGT) are valid DISTINCT states, whereas in reality they should be defined ambiguities. At any rate, I would advise you to remove the SYMBOLS statement altogether. Cheers, Sergei |
