Hi,

Is it possible to analyze multiple data files in GARD (the fastest case by homogeneous rate)? e.g. by datamonkey?
Or, Do I have to modify the batch file "GARD.bf" for that?. In this last case, I see that the batch file is not very friendly, perhaps it was done for execute in html and on MPI environment. Is there other GARD batchfile easier to work in?. Thanks.

Regards,
Miguel

Dear Sergei,

I have 1200 data files (alignments of DNA sequences), the idea is to analyze them independently by GARD to obtain the corresponding 1200 outputs. Each output should contain the breakpoints (or fragment intervals) and a phylogenetic tree for each fragment, such as GARD of datamonkey does for an alignment (but here I have 1200), nexus format is the perfect kind of output for me (datamonkey generates it). For example:

#NEXUS

At this time I am trying to modify GARD.bf but this batch file is a bit complex, with many functions, MPI environment and it seems for executing in html (I'm not sure). So, the question is, is there other GARD batchfile easier to work in?
Thanks again!

Miguel

Dear Miguel,

Were you able to work out the formatting? Sorry - I was away on holiday/business for a few weeks. Let me know if you still need my code.

Cheers,
Sergei

Dear All,

I have an identical analysis goal. I have 1600 FASTA-format data files of DNA alignments, the idea is to independent detect recombination breakpoints and split alignment using GARD. If the alignment has recombination breakpoints, the outputs are split alignments in two or more FASTA-format files.

I don't know how to prepare a proper batch file (GARD.bf) for running multiple data sets in HyPhy. I'm very appreciated your help on my analysis!

I have another question about running GARD.bf in Hyphy in Windows system. I have downloaded windows-version Hyphy 2.2.0. When I selected Standard analysis, recombination, GARD.bf, it showed the following error:
[ERROR] This analysis requires an MPI environment to run

I'm wondering Is there possible to run GARD in windows system or Should I install Hyphy and MPI in Linux for running GARD?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Zhuofei
