ART Contents

After you deploy the ART package, you will have the following directory structure:

$ART/

This is the installation directory of your choosing.

The $ART directory contains:

art

a shell script which executes ART. (Read more about using ART.)

runall.sh

a sample script, which runs a series of ART commands.

bin/

Contains template files, including a standard codeml control file and files for MySQL connectivity.

cprograms/

Contains C-programs, which are used for ancestral tree traversal.

mysql/

Contains customized MySQL table definitions for the current working project.

mysql_defs/

Contains MySQL table templates, which are copied into the 'mysql' directory during database creation.

scripts/

Contains perl scripts, which represent the bulk of ART's functionality.

documentation/

Contains html documentation, which you are presumably reading right now.

Important!

Do not modify the contents of ART sub-directories. Doing so can cause unpredictable behavior!
