NAME

Bio::SeqIO::kegg - KEGG sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

  # It is probably best not to use this object directly, but
  # rather go through the SeqIO handler system. Go:

  use Bio::SeqIO;

  $stream = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename, -format => 'KEGG');

  while ( my $seq = $stream->next_seq() ) {
        # do something with $seq
  }

DESCRIPTION

This class transforms KEGG gene records into Bio::Seq objects.

Mapping of record properties to object properties

This section is supposed to document which sections and properties of a KEGG databank record end up where in the Bioperl object model. It is far from complete and presently focuses only on those mappings which may be non-obvious. $seq in the text refers to the Bio::Seq::RichSeqI implementing object returned by the parser for each record.

'ENTRY'

 $seq->primary_id

'NAME'

 $seq->display_id

'DEFINITION'

 $seq->annotation->get_Annotations('description');

'ORTHOLOG'

 grep {$_->database eq 'KO'} $seq->annotation->get_Annotations('dblink')

'CLASS'

 grep {$_->database eq 'PATH'}
          $seq->annotation->get_Annotations('dblink')

'POSITION'

FIXME, NOT IMPLEMENTED

'PATHWAY'

 for my $pathway ( $seq->annotation->get_Annotations('pathway') ) {
    #
 }

'DBLINKS'

 $seq->annotation->get_Annotations('dblink')

'CODON_USAGE'

FIXME, NOT IMPLEMENTED

'AASEQ'

 $seq->translate->seq

'NTSEQ'

 $seq-E<gt>seq

FEEDBACK

Mailing Lists

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.

Support

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.
