# Download the AMPHORA package AMPHORA.tar.gz from http://bobcat.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/AMPHORA/download.html
# Unpack the package <pre>tar -xzvf AMPHORA.tar.gz</pre>

==PACKAGE CONTENTS==
 
After successful installation, there should be several folders in the home directory of AMPHORA

==USING AMPHORA==
 
===Phylotying bacterial sequences===
*Usage:
  <code>AMPHORA_home/Scripts/Phylotyping.pl <options> protein-sequence-file output-file</code>
*Options:
  -Replicates: number of bootstrap replicates
  -BootstrapCutoff: normalized to 100 replicates (1-100)%  default 70
*Output:
  foo.pep (identified maker sequences in fasta format, i.e. rpoB.pep)
  foo.aln (aligned and trimmed marker sequences, i.e., rpoB.aln)
  Trees/foo.tree (generated phylogenetic trees)
===Identify marker sequences===
*Usage:
  perl AMPHORA_home/Scripts/MarkerScanner.pl protein-sequence-file
*Output:
  foo.pep (identified maker sequences in fasta format, i.e., rpoB.pep)
===Align and trim the marker sequences===
*Usage:
  perl AMPHORA_home/Scripts/MarkerAlignTrim.pl
*Options:
  -Partial:  query sequences contain partial genes
  -Trim:  trim the alignment using masks embedded within the marker database
  -Strict: use a conservative mask
  -Directory: the file directory where marker sequences are located. Default: current directory
  -Help:  print the help message
*Output:
  foo.aln (aligned and trimmed marker sequences, i.e., rpoB.aln)

AMPHORA2

AMPHORA is an automated phylogenomic inference application for large-scale protein phylogenetic analysis. It has been applied to automated genome tree construction and metagenomic sequence phylotyping.

AMPHORA has been updated. See [1] for AMPHORA2.

AmphoraNet [2] is the easy-to-use webserver version of AMPHORA2 and AmphoraVizu [3] is an online visualization tool for the outputs of AMPHORA2.
