BP_RUN_NEIGHBOR(1p)

💖 NAME 💖

run_neighbor — it runs Phylip's 'neighbor' program, but like, through Bioperl. bestie behavior honestly 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

run_neighbor [-i inputfile] [-o outfilename]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first things first: you gotta hand it a matrix file so it has something to run neighbor on. 📊

the file should be named like file.matrix or file.protdist. lowkey the ending itself does not matter at all — but the program does expect a file in the form of (\S+)\.(\S+). so like, dot-something. it's giving "the format is the vibe, the words are just vibes" 💅

once you feed it that, it will run the application 'neighbor' and build you a Neighbor-Joining tree from a protein distance matrix. iconic. a whole tree, from your little matrix. 🌳✨
