NAME
Bio::Graphics::Browser2::Plugin::Aligner - Dump multiple alignments from GBrowse
SYNOPSIS
In the appropriate gbrowse configuration file:
plugins = Aligner
# and later
[Aligner:plugin]
alignable_tracks = EST
upcase_tracks = CDS Motifs
upcase_default = CDS
DESCRIPTION
The Aligner plugin dumps multiple nucleotide-to-nucleotide alignments in text form. For it to work properly, the genomic DNA must be loaded, as well as the DNAs for each of the aligned objects. In addition, the GFF load file must represent both the source and the target of the alignment using the Target notation. For example:
ctgA est match 1050 3202 . + . Target EST:agt830.5 1 554
ctgA est HSP 1050 1500 . + . Target EST:agt830.5 1 451
ctgA est HSP 3000 3202 . + . Target EST:agt830.5 452 654
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized. They must be placed into a configuration file section named [Aligner:plugin].
Option Description
alignable_tracks Space-delimited list of tracks to include in
the multiple alignment. The genome is always
included. If this option is not present, then
gbrowse will automatically include any track
that has the "draw_target" option set.
upcase_tracks Space-delimited list of tracks that will be used
to UPCASE the genomic DNA. This is very useful if
you want to embed the positions of coding regions
or other features inside the multiple alignment.
Uppercasing will not be turned on by default. The
user must press the "Configure" button, and select
which of the uppercase tracks are to be activated
from a radiolist.
upcase_default A space-delimited list of tracks that will be uppercased
by default.
ragged_default A small integer indicating that the aligner should
include some unaligned bases from the end of each sequence.
This is useful for seeing the sequencing primer or cloning
site in ESTs.
BUGS
None known yet.
