As a local Perl script

Software dependencies

• RAxML 8.2.4 available at https://github.com/stamatak/standard-RAxML
• HMMER 3.1b2 available at http://hmmer.org/download.html
• Perl
• Perl modules:
  • Bio::TreeIO available at http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CJ/CJFIELDS/BioPerl-1.6.924.tar.gz
  • Try::Tiny available at http://search.cpan.org/~ether/Try-Tiny-0.28/lib/Try/Tiny.pm
  • JSON::Parse available at http://search.cpan.org/~bkb/JSON-Parse-0.49/lib/JSON/Parse.pod
  • IO::String available at http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/IO-String-1.08/String.pm

When using Perl scripts it can be challenging to install all of the dependencies and there can be "drift" in functionality of the external Perl modules that this script was originally written for. To migate this, we have generate a standalone executable that contain all of the dependencies.

OS X

If you are using OSX, you can skip installing the Perl modules, and use the executable directly.

Windows

If you are using Windows, you can use Cygwin to run the tool. You follow the additional steps below:

1. Install Cygwin and Perl

• Install Cygwin from https://cygwin.com/install.html,
• Install “Perl” and “make” in “Select Packages” while running “setup.exe”.

2. Open Cygwin and verify Perl installation with command: % perl -v.
3. Install Cpanminus http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-cpanminus-1.7040/lib/App/cpanminus.pm#Installing_to_system_perl. Cpanminus could be installed using command cpan App::cpanmius
4. Install required modules: Try::Tiny, BioPerl, JSON::Parse, IO::String, using commands below:

   % cpanm Try::Tiny 
   % cpanm Bio::Perl 
   % cpanm JSON::Parse 
   % cpanm IO::String 
   

The location to Perl and Perl modules must be defined in your $PATH variable. If you have any questions on how to set up $PATH, please contact your UNIX system administrator.

The locations of RAxML and HMMER are required as input for this tool if not defined in $PATH.

Data dependencies:

Download the PANTHER data

% wget  ftp://ftp.pantherdb.org/downloads/TreeMethod/treeGrafter1.01_supplemental.tar.gz

Uncompress the PANTHER data

% tar xvfz treeGrafter1.01_supplemental.tar.gz

Download or clone the treeGrafter from github Go to https://github.com/haimingt/TreeGrafting

% cd treeGrafting-master
% perl treeGrafter.pl -f <input fasta file> -o <output file> -d <directory path to treeGrafter1.01_supplemental> -r <optional: RAxML location> -algo <hmmsearch or hmmscan> -auto <Please specify either -algo <hmmscan|hmmsearch> or -auto, but not both> -k <keep temporary files: 1 for yes> -hmmer <for previously stored output of hmmscan or hmmsearch>

Examples:

1. using the Test data, automatically choose hmmscan or hmmsearch:

   cd treeGrafting-master
   perl treeGrafter.pl -f ./Test/sample.fasta -o ./Test/sample.1.out -d ./Test/PANTHER_mini -auto
   

2. using the prevously stored hmmscan output

   IMPORTANT! provide -algo hmmscan for hmmscan.out; -algo hmmsearch for hmmsearch.out

   perl treeGrafter.pl -f ./Test/sample.fasta -o ./Test/sample.2.out -d ./Test/PANTHER_mini -algo hmmscan -hmmer ./Test/sample.fasta.hmmscan.out
   

3. using hmmsearch algo

   perl treeGrafter.pl -f ./Test/sample.fasta -o ./Test/sample.3.out -d ./Test/PANTHER_mini -algo hmmsearch
   

4. using the full dataset treeGrafter1.01_supplemental

   perl treeGrafter.pl -f ./Test/sample.fasta -o ./Test/sample.4.out -d ./path/to/treeGrafter1.01_supplemental -algo hmmsearch
   

5. using the executable on mac

   treeGrafter.osx -f ./Test/sample.fasta -o ./Test/sample.5.out -d ./path/to/treeGrafter1.01_supplemental -algo hmmsearch
   

The input file must be a list of sequences in fasta format
