You have two choices, that I have tried, both of which work.  There is
a fully-fledged Macintosh emulator, which will also allow you to run a
lot of Macintosh software. It's called Executor, and you can get it
from ftp.ardi.com.

Secondly, if disk copying is all you want, there is a nifty little
DOS program around called Mac-ette.

Both of these products cost money, but they are quite cheap.

Last time I checked, neither program would run under Windows NT,
although ARDI may have fixed Executor by now.

Anyone running DOS on a PC should be used to partitioning already.  If
they have a hard disk >200Mb and they haven't partitioned it already
into logical drives they are wasting disk space.  On a 300Mb DOS
partition, for example, the allocation unit is 8Kb, which means that
every file will on average use 4Kb more disk space than it actually
needs.  If your logical drives are all around 200 Mb in size, that
figure is only 2 Kb per file.  That's a saving of 2 Mb per thousand
files.  The MS-DOS filesystem is very inefficient on large partitions.
This is one of the advantages of NT, which always allocates 512 bytes
at a time, regardless of partition size, so a given file will on
average only use 256 bytes more space than it needs.  Converting a 300
Mb drive containing 3,000 files from FAT to NTFS will probably gain
you about 12 Mb of free hard disk space.

They don't really have an excuse.  The MSDN Level II Development
Platform was (and maybe still is) shipping with a PowerPC compiler.
The same argument is true to an extent of the other non-Intel NT
architectures.  Once PPCP hits the shops the companies will compile
for it.

I'd love to.  I just don't have the money :-)  Having said that, there
is a disadvantage to non-Intel NT boxes, which is that they cannot run
Intel 32-bit Windows programs.  16-bit ones, yes, but not 32-bit,
which is something of a limitation, if you can't find a version
compiled for your platform.

The Mac, at the moment does not have pre-emptive multitasking.  So what?  It's 
cooperative multitasking (can we say that, boys and girls?) is sufficient for 
anyone with two hands, two eyes and a single CPU ;-))

I have had a stuffit job going, files copying and been making pasteups in 
Photoshop all at the same time.  Now tell me I want the computer to do 
something else simultaneously ......  Of course, other programs will be open, 
but I'm not using them because I only have one keyboard.

Huh?  You've heard of RAM Doubler have you?  Stable as houses in my hands.  
Maybe my two year old 25 MHz LC with 8MB RAM isn't a good example for this 
argument...  (Yes, Apple's VM has had problems, but I doubt you've used a new 
machine recently)

Crashes?  Well, dodgy beta software and Microsucks crash the machine 
_in_frequently.  I can even run Photoshop over the network on a similar 
machine at work....  but yes, it goes a lot better on a 8100/110/80MB.

I think computer literates find them easier to deal with too.  I don't like 
fighting a machine before I can work with it.  Just because it's intuitive 
does not mean it's simple.  
Upgrades?  Easy-peasy.  Have you tried fitting an ethernet card into a Mac?  
Flip, wiggle, push.  Close.

Hey - I know people who use pcs 
who are scared of Macs because they perceive them as difficult to use.  Go 
figure.

Ahem.  Go look in a catalogue somewhere.  Compare $$/Mhz, and then realize 
that the PPC is (on average) ~20% faster than an equivalent MHz CISC chip.
Plus, Macs (and clones) come ready to go, and when you buy a Mac outfit you 
get everything:  video cards, sound cards, all part of the price.  And I 
_think_ the new macs have ethernet capability out of the box - although I 
could be wrong.

Giorgio Bertorelle and Guido Barbujani have written a DOS program called 
AIDA, that compute autocorrelation coefficient analogues (Geary's c and 
Moran's I) for DNA sequence data. but I guess it can be used for single 
locus data as well.

The reference is in :

I have rarely seen such absolutely ignorant comments! Each and every
disadvantage you impute to the Mac is true of Windoze95 instead, with the
sole exception of pre-emptive multitasking, which most users wouldn't
recognize if it bit them, which it usually does on the MacOS copy,
Windoze95. If your definition of a computer illiterate is someone who
wants to get real work done without the machine getting in his face, then
sign me up! But I was developing utilities and embedded system software
for the original DOS version in 1982 in a proprietary  coprocessor-based
LAN file server. When Mac II was born, I quickly decided life is too short
to mess with MS. As for cost effectiveness, why do you suppose Lockheed
Martin Astronautics just purchased three thousand Power Computing Mac
clones? And you might as well forget plug and play on Windoze--if you need
it, get a Mac; you get more for your money in every way these days.

I don't think Free Agent has the filter feature.  Their commercial release
Agent does have it but you have to pay for it.  I'm using one called "News
Xpress" now that has a good kill/autoselect feature.  All you have to do
is select the group or groups that you want to apply the feature to and
then type in some keywords.  the keywords can be in the subject line.  I
have "$$" and "Make money" on mine and its amazing how much garbage is
filtered out.  You can also filter out names in the "from" line so you can
delete posts from people you are sick of hearing from.  If you want to
look at it and a bunch of others you can go to http://www.tucows.com/. 
They have a lot of mirror sites and I think there is one closer to you so
it won't take so long to download.  Just click on the newsreader icon to
go to that section. They also have links to the homepages of the software
so you can check it out directly.

You don't understand.  These folks are convinced that if they can just make one
more comment, the other side will give in, grovel, change over from
advocating operating system X to agreeing that those who advocated operating
system Y were right all along.  It's a form of addiction.

   + multiple sequence alignment and single sequence editors
   - read and write several sequence file formats
   + easy hand alignment features including colored bases and sliding
   * Internet sequence analysis services by BOP and email methods 
   - automatic multiple sequence alignment with ClustalW app
   - automatic gel fragment alignment to contigs with CAP app
   * automatic base calling from ABI or SCF trace files with autoseq app
   - phylogenetic analysis of alignments with fastDNAml and LSADT apps
   - consensus, reverse, complement, degap, and distance/similarity operations
   - restriction maps
   + pretty print of alignments and sequences with boxed and shaded regions.
   - translate dna to/from protein using various codon tables
   + find strings and ORFs
   - automatic preference saving
   - user-definable links to external analysis programs
	 (* new, + updated)

NOTICE:  This release is still unfinish, and has bugs. It may
be useful to you as is, but be warned that it is still prone
to problems.

SeqPup is being written using DCLAP, a free and portable C++ 
class application framework.  DCLAP is founded on the
NCBI Toolkit, especially it's Vibrant user-interface section
written primarily by Jonathan Kans.   SeqApp/SeqPup was
started in 1990 as sequence editor/analysis platform on
which analysis programs from other authors could be easily
incorporated into a useable interface.

Does anyone know of a tool for pruning a set sequences for
redundancy?  Something that, given a set of sequences (say,
in a FASTA archive) and a user-defined value of X, would 
return a subset of sequences such that no two sequences 
were more than X% identical.

This is shaping up for a traditional my-machine-is-better-than-yours
religous war. Since I think we can assume that we are (mostly) intelligent
adults here, can we nip this in the bud right now, or take it off to one
of the advocacy groups where it can die its prolonged and unpleasant death
unnoticed by those who don't really care?

I have their latest shareware version and you are correct in that
it allows you to set up select and/or kill expressions. They apply
to stuff in the header, not the body, but within that limitation, it
allows you to setup about any expression. Forte has their own
newsgroup where comments about this should be directed. It
is: alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent.

Announcing version 1.4 release of NAMD
             --------------------------------------- 

  The Theoretical Biophysics group at the University of Illinois and
the Beckman Institute would like to announce the availability version
1.4 of the program NAMD, a high-performance molecular mechanics
program for simulating large biomolecular systems on parallel and
distributed computers.  This software is being made available to the
molecular modeling community free of charge, and includes commented
source code, documentation for users and programmers, and precompiled
binaries for HP and SGI workstations.

  New in this version are various splittings for multiple
timestepping, cleaning up of the source and documentation, and various
bug fixes.

  ===============   Basic information about NAMD  ======================

Obtaining NAMD
--------------
A more complete description of NAMD is available on the NAMD WWW home
page:
	http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/

The software itself is available via anonymous ftp in the directory:
	ftp://ftp.ks.uiuc.edu/pub/mdscope/namd/
(please see the README file in this directory for the latest version
info)

Email questions to namd@ks.uiuc.edu.

Features
--------
  Efficient full electrostatics:
    NAMD incorporates the Distributed Parallel Multiple Tree Algorithm
(DPMTA) developed by the Scientific Computing Group at Duke University
to provide full electrostatic interactions in O(N) time. To further
reduce the computational cost, DPMTA is integrated using a multiple
timestep integration scheme which computes full electrostatic
interactions only periodically during the simulation.

  Scalable parallelism:
    To simulate large systems using many processors. Efficient
parallel design uses a spatial decomposition scheme coupled with
multithreaded, message-driven execution to achieve load balance and
overlap of communication with computation.

  Modifiable:
    A major design goal of NAMD is to allow researchers to implement
new algorithms and techniques easily. To achieve this, the design and
implementation of NAMD is fully documented in a Programmer's Guide. To
achieve the highest degree of modularity and data abstraction, an
object-oriented design is used and NAMD is implemented in C++.

  Portable:
    NAMD can run on different parallel machines and message-passing
systems. The first two implementations of NAMD use PVM (Parallel
Virtual Machine) from Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Charm++ , a
message-driven coordination language developed at UIUC.

  Compatibility with X-PLOR:
    The input and output files used by NAMD are identical to those
used by the program X-PLOR. Thus, simulations can easily be migrated
between the packages and the output of NAMD can be analyzed using
X-PLOR or any other tool built for these file formats.

  Standard MD features:
    Implementation of standard molecular dynamics features such as
energy minimization, velocity rescaling, spherical harmonic boundary
conditions, harmonic atom restraints, and Langevin dynamics.

There are two subtle issues which are involved here:

* There are many, many ways of producing such a set.  You could try to
produce the largest such set, the smallest such set, the best
(depending upon some quality measure) set.  Which one you want depends
upon your ultimate use of the data.

* If the percent identity not very large (e.g., maybe 50%), identity
is a very poor measure of propinquity.  You'd do far better using
either smith-waterman score or (better yet) a statistical measure.

I have code which could be for producing some such sets.

As Steve points out, this is not a straightforward problem to solve.
In addition to the complications that Steve mentions, you need to 
worry about the lengths of your proteins.   Two sequences may share 
a common domain or module, but otherwise be different.  If you use 
a simple cutoff, you will be throwing away non-redundant 
information.  A solution to this is to require pairs to have
N% of residues in common as well as being X% similar.  
However, if you do this, you will still 
have some redundancy in the final set.  If you need a non-redundant
set for statistical analysis, then you could mask out the common 
part from one of each pair.  If you need non-redundancy to speed a 
database search, then redundancy of this type would probably not be 
a problem.

MacOS does not handle virtual memory, without the use of a third party
product (RAM DOUBLER), and even with this product installed, 'out of
memory' errors can frequently present themselves when using system
intensive progs.

Please! I sincerely doubt that anyone is listening to this thread, just
shouting their prejudices.  As has been mentioned, it's hard to discuss
religion (OS preference) in a rational fashion.  Can we all return to our
work (whether on Wintels or Macs) now?

I believe that a program called Grail and X-Grail can do this, but it's

Both of these are UNIX progs. Sorry, can't remember the location (I think

Quite right, too. Clearly an error on my part based on my lack of Mac OS
familiarity. Duly retracted and hopefully an end to this thread. A timely
reminder to me that it's not a good idea to write about matters that I am
not 100% familiar with, since it's both misleading and unhelpful. Point
taken. I stick by my general thrust of argument however that the Mac does
not handle virtal memory as well as '95 and that the Mac OS is less stable
using a range of different softwares.

This isn't quite what was wanted, but it comes *very* close 
and should be easily hackable.  I apologize for its slovenly 
adherence to basic programming elegance, but hey (!) it works.
	It is C code for the Macintosh, and furthermore it is 
written as an XFCN for HyperCard; I've included the whole code, 
but the dynamic alignmetn bit is easy to pick out.  Now, this 
code does *not* save the alignment - it just saves the score 
and the endpoint on each sequence.  If you want the alignment, 
it costs RAM, but it shouldn't be too difficult to hack this 
code to get it.  I just might do it myself.

[subtle and complicated issues deleted]

These considerations are valid, in principle, but don't apply to
my problem.  I'm just looking at 1000's of splice junction sequences 
with the intention of analyzing informational signals, and I 
don't want the results to be biased by large sets of nearly 
identical sequences (e.g., human antibody genes).  All of the
sequence fragments are the exactly the same length, there are 
no gaps, and a simple measurement of nucleotide identity is 
sufficient to quantify the relationship between any two
sequences (unless I want to take into account base composition).

One possible solution is the CLEANUP program (brought to my 
attention by Sabino Liuni, one of the developers):

  Grillo, et al. 1996, CABIOS 12(1):1, CLEANUP: a fast computer 
  program for removing redundancies from nucleotide sequence databases.

which is dependent on GCG and NCBI libraries (I don't have the
GCG libraries, yet, but I'm working on it).

You can print PostScript files on any graphics-capable printer using
the free interpreter GhostScript.  You should be able to find this on
most large ftp sites.  It has a friendlier front-end called GhostView.

Be warned that it doesn't necessarily do a good job, particularly with
text at large point sizes, although if you have something like Adobe
Type Manager you can make GhostScript use the real Adobe fonts from
that, which removes the problem.  For your purposes it shouldn't
matter at all.

I would like to print out partial trees from the Ribosomal Database
Project.  The options are postscript, newkirk and text.  The text
files are funky and I would like a "pretty" tree.  We have a
Windows-based system with a HP Inkjet printer.  Is there a way to
print postscript files with this set up?  And what are Newkirk files?

Thanks for your help.

I have volunteered to compile a directory of biochemistry/molecular biology
software available for the Mac.  Commercial and PD.   This is for Apple in
the UK, and for an academic Mac managers group (Mac Supporters), but I aim
to make it available on the WWW.  This is a daunting task.  Does anyone
know if there is an up to date directory of this kind already available, so
mabe I don't have to bother?

Would you help me?  I would like info on all sorts of Mac software relevant
to these disciplines (sequence analysis, molecular modelling, enzyme
kinetics, CAL, data aquisition etc.)  If you can supply info on software
*especially if you use it* and can provide some views on its usefulness
(ie. a review), e-mail me at the address below.

One of the changes due in GCG 9.0 is to write the enzyme names
horizontally, so your student will probably be happy with GCG's output
in the near future.

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a program that can convert an EMBL entry to
the GenBank format. I don't want to convert only the sequence
(I know that the "readseq" program does this) but I also
want to convert annotations (sequence features, bibliography, etc...).

I know that EMBL and GenBank exchange their data. So I imagine that 
such a program already exists, but I didn't find any such tool on the 
NCBI or EBI FTP servers.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to get such a program ?

Thank you very much for your help.

I hereby announce the availability of the first alpha version (0.1) of
'block', a program for performing pedigree and linkage analysis in
large and complex pedigrees.
 
The program 'block' implements a method called blocking Gibbs
sampling.  The method is based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo method,
Gibbs sampling, but combines this stochastic method with exact local
computations to get a method that can successfully handle very large
and complex (e.g., inbred) pedigrees (thousands of individuals) with
an arbitrary number of alleles.  The method allows the user to test
the presence of linkage between two genes.      

As this is the first public version of the program, there is bound to
be errors and other kinds of problems.  All these should of course be
reported to me.

For more information, contact me, or download the program from :
 
  ftp.iesd.auc.dk/pub/packages/block/
 
The program is available for the architectures : Linux ELF and a.out,
Sparc Solaris and SunOS, FreeBSD, IRIX 64, and MS-DOS.

There is also a hopepage associated with the program at

  http://www.iesd.auc.dk/~claus/block.html

This message is to announce the release of version 1.2 of the SEQIO
package.  The package is freely available to anyone for commercial or
non-commercial use, and can be ftp'ed from the following FTP site:

   ftp://ftp.cs.ucdavis.edu/pub/strings/seqio.tar.gz

It is a gzip'ed, tar file (356K compressed) containing the package
code and documentation files. I've also set up a web site for the
package at

   http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~knight/seqio.html

Also, see the description below for more information about the
package.

Major changes from version 1.1:

  * Added the GCG, MSF and BLAST program output formats.
      (including the ability to convert between non-GCG and GCG
       forms of GenBank, PIR, EMBL, Swiss-Prot, FASTA, NBRF and
       IG/Stanford formats without losing any header information)
  * Added the ability to index database entries based on any (or
    all) identifiers given in the entry.  Including the new NID and
    PID numbers.
  * Added the ability to handle database identifiers (with wildcards)
    and randomly access the specified entries.
  * Added a "single entry access specification" mode for regular
    files, so that you can extract, say, just the third entry in a 
    file, or the entry whose identifier is "sp:104k_thepa".
  * Added a number of example programs to show how to use the package.
  * The file conversion program (fmtseq) now can do "big alignments"
    of BLAST output, and can do conversions between GCG and non-GCG
    forms of sequence entries without losing any header information.



For those of you who were at ISMB'96 and to whom I promised that both
this package and my new database search algorithm would be available
last weekend, the database search algorithm isn't ready yet.  (I still
haven't gotten the hang of the difference between estimates for "down
the hallway" software, i.e. software written for the folks down the
hallway, and real product quality software.)  However, it will be
ready soon.  Certainly, by the time my post-doc runs out at the end of
July.

For those of you who weren't at ISMB (or who I didn't tell about my
database search algorithm), I've developed an alternative to FASTA and
BLAST that should produce Smith-Waterman quality alignments, i.e. the
same alignments you'd get if you ran the full-blown Smith-Waterman
search, but with the speed of FASTA and BLASTP.  (It will probably
take me until the next version of this program to get to BLASTN
speeds.)


Which reminds me.  My post-doc here at UC Davis ends at the end of
July, and so I'm looking for a job (either an industry,
algorithm/software-development position or a postdoc working with
biologists).  If you have such a position or know about such a
position (that hasn't been widely advertised on the newsgroups or on
the WWW, because I've seen those), please let me know.  I would
appreciate it.

     SEQIO:  A C/C++ Package for Reading and Writing Sequences


The SEQIO package is a C/C++ package (or library) which makes reading
and writing sequences and biological databases as easy as reading and
writing files, while at the same time supporting I/O in the following
file formats:

    Raw/Plain, GenBank, PIR (CODATA), EMBL, Swiss-Prot, FASTA, NBRF,
    IG/Stanford, ASN.1 text files, GCG, MSF, PHYLIP, Clustalw, and
    output from the FASTA and BLAST suites of programs

supporting completely configurable databases, using the new BIOSEQ
standard for describing databases, like this one for GenBank:

   #
   # The GenBank Flat-File Database
   #
   >GenBank,gb:  /databases/genbank
   >Name:  GenBank
   >IdPrefix:  gb
   >Index: gbindex
   >Format:  gbfast
   >Alphabet:  DNA
       #
       # GenBank files as found at ftp site ncbi.nlm.nih.gov in /genbank.
       # 
       gbbct.seq, gbest?.seq, gbinv.seq, gbmam.seq, gbpat.seq, gbphg.seq
       gbpln.seq, gbpri.seq, gbrna.seq, gbrod.seq, gbsts.seq, gbsyn.seq
       gbuna.seq, gbvrl.seq, gbvrt.seq

       daily-nc/nc????.flat,  daily:(daily-nc/nc????.flat)

and supporting the transparent specification (as far as the program is
concerned) of single entries of databases, like "gb:humhb*" for all of
the human beta globin GenBank entries, and of single entries of any
files, like "myseqs@3,4" or "myseqs@gb:humhba1" to specify either the
third or fourth entry of file "myseqs" or the entry in "myseqs" whose
identifier is the GenBank HUMHBA1 locus.  Also, the database entries
can be specified using the database specific identifiers (i.e.,
GenBank locus numbers, PIR entry names, ...) or using the
cross-database accession, NID or PID numbers.  Or all three, if you
want.

In addition, the distribution comes with a reimplementation and
extension of Don Gilbert's readseq program (called fmtseq).  In
addition to a much better user interface, this program also has the
ability to perform "no loss" conversions between the non-GCG and GCG
forms of GenBank, PIR, EMBL, Swiss-Prot, FASTA, NBRF and IG/Stanford
entries, and the ability to take the output from one of the FASTA and
BLAST alignments and construct a "big alignment" by lining up all of
the pairwise alignments into a multiple alignment.

There's some other stuff too, but really, don't you think that's enough?

Hi there
Does anyone know of a source for Windows software (not too expensive)
for drawing publication quality plasmid diagrams ?  If possible it would
be nice to be able to draw a map without needing sequence info and be
able to export the maps into other software.
Thanks
phil

I don't suppose it's just me this happens to, but every single thing I
post to bionet.software gets bounced back to me by mail.

It seems that a user on a gated mailing list no longer exists, and
rather than the bounced message going to the list administrator (which
is where it should go) it goes to the original poster, who can't do
anything about it.

Who runs the gated mailing list?  For a start their setup may well be
broken, and secondly it would be wonderful if they could do something
about this particular user (okanes@uni.edu, I think).

Furthermore, I *think* the list is operated by wugate.wustl.edu, but
I'm not sure.

Hopefully someone reading this will know the correct person to ask.

Tim.

Course in informatics offered at the Pasteur Institute.
======================================================

In the series of courses offered at the Pasteur Institute, a course
will be offered in informatics in biology. The next session will take
place from January to April 1997. The course description is attached. 
Registration is mandatory via the committee of courses. Call the 
secretary of Information and Education of the Pasteur Institute at
+33 (1) 45 68 81 40 or via E-mail at algo@pasteur.fr for further

nominal fee, approximately 2 500 French Francs (500 US Dollars).

Course Description
==================

Informatics in biology
----------------------

The objective of this course is to give to the researchers and future
researchers in biology, an initial exposure to informatics. Entry in
the course is reserved to those with a degree in biology or an equivalent
discipline.

With more and more tools available to the biologist, it has become important 
that the biologist acquire the ability to judge for themselves the 
usefulness of a new software by the algorithms it employs.

The accent is put on the fundamental aspect of this discipline. Two
applications in biology will be studied, the analysis of sequences 
and molecular modeling.

The theoretic aspects of informatics will be introduced: programming 
languages, programing, logic, and also in the technical domain of 
the system, the network, and computer architecture. Programming is taught
according to the functional paradigm (Scheme), but other styles 
of programming, such as algorithmic and object oriented, will be introduced.

The goal of an excellent level of theory will not hurt the acquisition of
practical knowledge which will be directly usable in the labratory.

The course will consist of lectures and practical sessions.

   Algorithms and programming		lecture			69h
   Algorithms and programming		practical (with Scheme)	52h

Hi,
   I've just made a font for use with multiple sequence alignments of
amino acids.  It's currently made for the Macintosh operating system. You
use it just like any other font.  It's based on the Courier font, but each
of the letters are color coded as a mnemonic for the chemical nature or
charge of the amino acid.  I'm going to be very busy for the next month or
two, so I won't have much time to adjust it, but if you'd like to give it
a try, please go to:

http://weber.u.washington.edu/~gosink/BlueBasic/AAFont.html

I'll be able to answer questions and take comments, but probably not as
promptly as usual (a little thing called a dissertation came up :-)

[snips above]
Yes, GhostScript etc. do work, but they are bulky, slow, and not easy to 
deal with for most people.  My suggestion is to just get a PostScript 
printer (some of the higher end HP Inkjets are).  Your department only
needs to buy one and put it on the network, so easy with Win95 or 
WFWG 3.11.  Works well with Macs, too, if you have a few extra dollars for
a JetDirect (for HP) or other ethernet card for the printer.  If you 
have a UNIX or other type of higher end network, that works great for
both also, but usually requires an administrator type person to set it
up for you.

I am doing an isokinetic exercise study using Cybex 6000. In my mind, Cybex is 
a usefull isokinetic system and performed many research. For research 
purpose, data analysis is an important part of a project. However, I have a 
difficulty to analysis an torque data of each cycle .
Cybex 6000 have not provided a report format which satisfy my requirment and 
cannot print or export a data to ASCII format. Also, this system is not allow 
synchronise with other system, ex. EMG system. Now I only know that Cybex 
saved the data file as binary form. If I know the binary format of data 
file, I could export the data.
Could anyone have experience to solve the above problem or have a binary 
format of data file? Please send me a email.

Thank you for your attention

Don,

I think you have gotten many answers concerning the postscript stuff.  
Your question about 'Newkirk' tree formats (actually it's 'Newick' format 
apparently named after a restaurant or bar in New Hampshire).

Very simply...suppose two sequences/taxa/molecules/whatever are the most 
closely related in your dataset, then you can represent this fact thus:

(A,B)

 \/


say also that their closest relative is sequence C, then we might have a 
Newick tree like this:

((A,B),C)

  \/   /
   \  /
    \/

and finally, taxa D and E are each other's closest relatives..sooooo

(((A,B),C),(D,E))

   \/   /   \/
    \  /    /
     \/    /
      \   /
       \ /
        |


The exact details of this 'standard' have yet to be standardised, so 
there are many flavours implemented in different programs (with branch 
lengths, comments, bootstrap support etc.).

There are programs that transfer this information into nice pretty trees.  
The PHYLIP package has drawing programs:

http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/  (I think?!)

Rod page in Glasgow has produced Treeview (Mac, Windows)

http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/software.html#Tree viewing

Don Gilbert in Indiana has produced TreeDraw Deck (I think the kudos goes 
to him, although I think also the program is based on PHYLIP code???)

   I have a program called EditBase.  This program is very nice and 
useful for DNA cloning and stuff like that.  It is developed by Purdue 
Reserach Fundation & USDA/ARS.  The version I have is 0.74.  Anyone 
happen to know the current situation for this program?  I tried to

   Good luck in research.

	A revised version of FASTA3.0 - fasta30t4.shar.Z is available from
ftp.virginia.edu in pub/fasta.

	This version hopefully finally fixes the problems that people
were having with fasta-formatted DNA database searches.  It also
provides some corrections to the fastx program.

	In addition, thanks to Joachim Theilhaber at IBM, it is now
possible to run the threaded version in parallel on SMP
multiprocesssor IBM RS/6000's like the J30.  See Makefile.ibm.

Announcement: 

The software package for performing "Bootscanning" is now available from
our website at
http://hivgenome.hjf.org/

"Bootscanning" is a method for detecting recombination in viral
sequences. We have only
applied it to HIV-1, but it should work for any genes that contain
sufficient phylo-
genetic signal.

You will need GDE and Phylip to run the package, and at the current
time, we only provide
SUN executables. However, the source-code is also included, so anyone
who would care to
compile on another system capable of running GDE and Phylip is free to
do so.

Below is an excerpt from some of the documentation:

Bootscanning Package v. 1.0beta1
Principal Idea and Approach: 	Mika Salminen, msalminen@hiv.hjf.org
Design and programming:		Wayne Cobb, wcobb@reed.hjf.org

Description:

Bootscanning is a method for anaysis of viral recombination. It can be
used to
compare an unknown, suspected recombinant sequence, to a set of
predefined
potential parental sequences. It should be independent of organism, but
we have
only used it for HIV-1 and suspect that it only works for sufficiently
variable
genes.

In the case of HIV-1 there are predefined genetic subtypes which have
been 
called A-H in analyses based on the envelope and gag genes, with the
notable
exception that the E-subtype does not exist in gag. Viruses with
E-subtype 
envelopes group with the A-type viruses in gag.

Bootscanning relies on the alignment of a suspected recombinant sequence
with
a set of potential parental reference sequences (groups of sequences
from the 
differnt subtypes, or consensus sequences created from sets of reference 
sequences). After optimal alignment, the alignment is broken into
sequential, 
overlapping segments (or windows) which are fed to a program for
phylogenetic 
analysis (any of the sequence programs of Phylip could be used, we have
included
menus for three methods). Bootstrapped phylogenetic trees are built for
each 
segment and finally the bootstrap value for placing the unknown with
each of 
the reference sequences/sequence groups is tabulated and plotted along
the genome.

The assumption is that the unknown will always reach high bootstrap
values with 
it's parental subtypes in windows covering areas of that subtype in the
unknown.
When a recombination breakpoint is reached, the bootsrap value for one 
parent+the unknown will go down, and the bootsrap value for the second
parent+
the unknown should go up.

Therefore we should find the breakpoint in the intersection of the
plotted
bootscanning lines.

Reference alignments of non-recombinant gag and env genes and
subtype-reference
sequences are included in the package. However, be aware that the B and 
D-subtypes are sometimes difficult to separate in gag and that the
A-subtype in
some regions separates to at least 2 subclusters. Therefore we have
included
consensus sequences A1 and A2 in the cocnsensus alignments.

The package contains the following components:

Menufile for GDE:

"GDEmenus.Bootscan"
Insert the menus in this file into your ".GDEmenus"-file. 

Shell-scripts (place all in /GDE/bin/):

"mlbootscan.sh"
Performs Maximum Likelihood Bootscanning analysis using SEQBOOT,
DNADIST, FITCH and CONSENSE

"njbootscan.sh"
Performs Neighbor Joining Bootscanning analysis using SEQBOOT, DNADIST,
NEIGHBOR and CONSENSE

"parsboot.sh"
Performs Neighbor Joining Bootscanning analysis using SEQBOOT, DBNAPARS
and CONSENSE

"analyze.sh"
Shell script to run the program analyze.

"genchop.sh"
Shell script to run the program chop

Executables (place all in /GDE/bin/):

readseq		Fixed sequence format converter.
"PhyloMask"	Creates masks to exclude gaps (menu available in 
		GDEmenus.Bootscan).	

"chop"		Breaks up masked alignment into individual segments which are 
		created as sequentially numbered input files to the Phylip 
		programs in a subdirectory of your home directory. 
		Each window is numbered at the midpoint of the segment in the
		alignment. For each segmnet a corresponding outfile and treefile
		is created which will contain the bootstrap values and the 
		consensus trees. The programs 'analyze' and 'report' are
		used to extract and tabulate the bootstrap values of specified
		groups of sequences (taxa or clades). Plotting the tables
		using the alignment as the x-axis and the bootrap value as the 
		y-axis can be used to identify recombination points.

"analyze"		Extracts bootstrap values from outfiles. Use analyze.sh to
run

"report"		Collects bootstrap values in tab-delimited table.

Attached to this file is also an example of a bootscan-plot of an
A/D-recombinant virus.


We hope that you will be able to use the method to produce some useful
data,
and would certainly be happy to hear comments and critique about the
package
and certainly also bug-reports. We would especially be delighted to here
from 
anyone who has managed to successfully install the package.

We also acknowledge that the package is crude and simple, we have not
put
a lot of effort into getting it very elegant, but it works for us, and
we hope 
that it will for other people, too. We have tried to remove any bugs
that
have crept up during development, but there will certainly be more.
Anyone using
the package will do it on their own risk, we take no responsibility for
any 
loss of data or hardware that may result from the use of the package
(hopefully
there will be none!).
