Title: Detailed HYphy settings of the Datamonkey selection analyses Post by Kim Roelants on Feb 21st, 2013 at 5:15am
Dear Sergei,
I have conducted a series of selection analyses using the SLAC, FEL and REL methods implemented on the DataMonkey server. For the present study, these 'stock' analyses are more than adequate to make my point. However, in the future, I would like to be able to use and interpret the more versatile settings implemented in the downloadable version of Hyphy 2.1. Following your helpful manual, I have tried to reproduce my Datamonkey REL results with Hyphy. The results however, are different: instead of 3 positively selected sites (Bayes factor >50) HyPhy finds none, using the very same input files. So I guess there must have been a difference in one of the other analysis settings. Datamonkey also identifed 17 negatively selected sites, but I don't know how to see the p-values for negative selection using Hyphy. So I have the following questions: - What are the detailed Hyphy settings of the REL, FEL and SLAC analyses conducted by Datamonkey (apart from the input files, the DNA substitution model, and the singificance level? - I guess that Datamonkey uses an MG94 codon model? But does it also include the 3x4 codon frequency setting? - Does datamonkey use codon- or nucleotide-based branch length optimisation? - I guess Datamonkey also assumes rate varation across synonymous substitutions (i.e. the dual setting). If so, how is this rate heterogenity modelled (gamma or GDD?) - And how is the number of rate classes determined (in Hyphy, I have to predefine this number but in Datamonkey, the number of rate classes seems to vary across analyses of different input trees)? - Finally, how can I use Hyphy's dNdSresultsprocessor.bf to obtain a summary table of site-specific results similar to those produced by Datamonkey? That is, including the sites that evolved under significant purifying selection? Thanks in advance for your help, Kim |
