NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd - class for EMBOSS Application qualifiers

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# Get an EMBOSS factory
use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
$f = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
# Get an EMBOSS application  object from the factory
$water = $f->program('water') || die "Program not found!\n";
# Here is an example of running the application - water can
# compare 1 sequence against 1 or more sequences using Smith-Waterman.
# Pass a Sequence object and a reference to an array of objects.
my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
$water->run({-asequence => $seq_object,
             -bsequence => \@seq_objects,
             -gapopen   => '10.0',
             -gapextend => '0.5',
             -outfile   => $wateroutfile});
# Now you might want to get the alignment
use Bio::AlignIO;
my $alnin = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
                              -file   => $wateroutfile);
while ( my $aln = $alnin->next_aln ) {
    # process the alignment -- these will be Bio::SimpleAlign objects
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

The EMBOSSacd represents all the possible command line arguments that can be given to an EMBOSS application.

Do not create this object directly. It will be created and attached to its corresponding Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication if you set

            

              
              
$application->verbose > 0
            
          

Call

            

              
              
$application->acd
            
          

to retrive the Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication::EMBOSSacd object.

          HTML output into XML and uses XML::Twig XML
          parser to write out a hash of qualifiers which is
          then blessed.
Throws  : without program name
Returns : new object
Args    : EMBOSS program name
            
          

name

            

              
              
Title   : name
Usage   : $embossacd->name
Function: sets/gets the name of the EMBOSS program
          Setting is done by the EMBOSSApplication object,
          you should only get it.
Throws  :
Returns : name string
