Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics - Calculate Protein Alignment statistics (mostly distances)

SYNOPSIS

Top

  use Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics;
  use Bio::AlignIO;
  my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'fasta',
			    -file   => 'pep-104.fasaln');
  my $aln = $in->next_aln;

  my $pepstats = Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics->new();
  $kimura = $protstats->distance(-align => $aln,
			         -method => 'Kimura');
  print $kimura->print_matrix;




DESCRIPTION

Top

This object is for generating various statistics from a protein alignment. Mostly it is where pairwise protein distances can be calculated.

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.
