PhaME_m

The debugging version of PhaME (Phylogenetic and Molecular Evolution analysis tool). PhaME_m retains all the functions of PhaME, namely performing phylogenetic and molecular evolutionary analysis from sequencing reads, draft assemblies or completed genomes. The sequencing data in FASTQ or FASTA format can be directly inputted.

Why PhaME_m?

Since PhaME has not been updated for a long time, the existing versions (precompiled, development, and docker versions) have some issues on installation or running. PhaME_m debugs these issues. Following the installation guide below, the PhaME can be successfully installed and run on a local machine.

How to install?

  1. Create a separate conda environment and then activate it:
    conda create -n phame_m
    conda activate phame_m
  2. Install required dependencies in the "phame_m" conda environment:
    mamba install perl-bioperl
    mamba install samtools
    mamba install bcftools
    mamba install mummer
    mamba install bowtie2
    mamba install fasttree
    mamba install bbmap
    mamba install raxml
    mamba install perl-parallel-forkmanager
    mamba install perl-statistics-distributions
    mamba install paml
    mamba install mafft
    mamba install hyphy
  3. Clone the github repo of PhaME:
    git clone https://github.com/LANL-Bioinformatics/PhaME.git
  4. Test if the installation was successful:
    cd PhaME
    bash ./test/TestAll.sh 1

How to run?
