Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal(3)

Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal - Wrapper for local execution of cmalign, cmbuild, cmsearch, cmscore

  # parameters which are switches are set with any value that evals TRUE,
  # others are set to a specific value

  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal->new(@params);

  # run cmalign|cmbuild|cmsearch|cmscore|cmemit directly as a wrapper method
  # this resets the program flag if previously set

  $factory->cmsearch(@seqs); # searches Bio::PrimarySeqI's based on set cov. model
                             # saves output to optional outfile_name, returns
                             # Bio::SearchIO

  # only values which are allowed for a program are set, so one can use the same
  # wrapper for the following...

  $factory->cmalign(@seqs); # aligns Bio::PrimarySeqI's to a set cov. model,
                            # --merge option allows two alignments generated
                            #     from the same CM to be merged.
                            # output to outfile_name, returns Bio::AlignIO
  $factory->cmscore();      # scores set cov. model against Bio::PrimarySeqI,
                            # output to outfile_name/STDOUT.
  $factory->cmbuild($aln); # builds covariance model based on alignment
                           # CM to outfile_name or model_file (one is required
                           # here), output to STDOUT.
  $factory->cmemit();      # emits sequence from specified cov. model;
                           # set one if no file specified. output to
                           # outfile_name, returns Bio::SeqIO or (if -a is set)
                           # Bio::AlignIO
  $factory->cmcalibrate($file); # calibrates specified cov. model; output to
                                # STDOUT
  $factory->cmstat($file); # summary stats for cov. model; set one if no file
                           # specified; output to STDOUT

  # run based on the setting of the program parameter

  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal->new(-program => 'cmsearch',
                                                @params);
  my $search = $factory->run($seq);

  # using cmsearch returns a Bio::SearchIO object

  while (my $result = $searchio->next_result){
   while(my $hit = $result->next_hit){
    while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp){
            print join("\t", ( $r->query_name,
                               $hit->name,
                               $hsp->hit->start,
                               $hsp->hit->end,
                               $hsp->meta,
                               $hsp->score,
                               )), "\n";

Wrapper module for Sean Eddy's Infernal suite of programs. The current implementation runs cmsearch, cmcalibrate, cmalign, cmemit, cmbuild, cmscore, and cmstat. cmsearch will return a Bio::SearchIO, cmemit a Bio::SeqIO/AlignIO, and cmalign a Bio::AlignIO. All others send output to STDOUT. Optionally, any program's output can be redirected to outfile_name.

We HIGHLY suggest upgrading to Infernal 1.0. In that spirit, this wrapper now supports parameters for Infernal 1.0 only; for wrapping older versions of Infernal we suggest using the version of Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal that came with previous versions of BioPerl-run.

NOTE: Due to conflicts in the way Infernal parameters are now formatted vs. subroutine naming in Perl (specifically the inclusion of hyphens) and due to the very large number of parameters available, setting and resetting parameters via set_parameters() and reset_parameters() is required. All valid parameters can be set, but only ones valid for the executable set via program()/program_name() are used for calling the executables, the others are silently ignored.

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

           'valid'- same a 'full', but only returns the grouping valid for the
