NAME
Bio::Tools::Blast::Run::Webblast.pm - Bioperl module for running Blast analyses using a HTTP interface.
SYNOPSIS
# Run a Blast
use Bio::Tools::Blast::Run::Webblast qw(&blast_remote);
@out_file_names = &blast_remote($object, %named_parameters);blast_remote is the only exported method of this module and it returns a list of local file names containing the Blast reports. $object is a reference to a Bio::Root::Object.pm object or subclass. See blast_remote() for a description of available parameters.
# Obtain a list of available databases
use Bio::Tools::Blast::Run::Webblast qw(@Blast_dbp_remote
@Blast_dbn_remote);
@amino_dbs = @Blast_dbp_remote;
@nucleotide_dbs = @Blast_dbn_remote;INSTALLATION
This module is included with the central Bioperl distribution:
http://bio.perl.org/Core/Latest
ftp://bio.perl.org/pub/DISTFollow the installation instructions included in the README file.
DESCRIPTION
Bio::Tools::Blast::Run::Webblast.pm contains methods and data necessary for running Blast sequence analyses using a remote server and saving the results locally.
Bio::Tools::Blast::run() provides an interface for Webblast.pm, so, ideally, you shouldn't use Webblast.pm directly, but via Blast.pm.
FEATURES:
Supports NCBI Blast1, Blast2, and PSI-Blast servers as well as WashU-Blast servers.
Can operate through a proxy server enabling operation from behind a firewall.
Can save reports with and without HTML formatting.
Uses LWP.
In principle, this module can be customized to use different servers that provide a Blast interface like the NCBI or WashU style servers. Such servers could be remote or local. This hasn't been well-tested however.
DEPENDENCIES
Bio::Tools::Blast::Run::Webblast.pm is used by Bio::Tools::Blast.pm. The development of this is thus linked with the Blast.pm module.

blast_remote
Usage : @files = blast_remote( $blast_object, %namedParameters);
: This method is exported.
Purpose : Run a remote Blast analysis on one or more sequences.
: NOTE: The name of this method is potentially misleading
: since the a local server could be specified.
: Probably should be called blast_http.
Returns : Array containing a list of filenames of the Blast reports.
Argument : First argument should be a Bio::Tools::Blast.pm object reference.
: This object is primarily used for error reporting
: Remaining arguments are named parameters:
: (PARAMETER TAGS CAN BE UPPER OR LOWER CASE).
:
: -ALIGN => integer, number of alignments (B, 100)
: -ALIGN_VIEW => alignment view option (see below)
: -CUTOFF => Blast score cutoff (60-110 or 'default')
: -DATABASE => name of database (see below)
: -DESCR => integer, number of on-line descriptions (V, 100)
: -EXPECT => expect value cutoff
: -EXPECT_PSI => expect value for inclusion in PSI-BLAST iteration 1
: -FILTER => sequence complexity filter ('default' or 'none')
: -GAP => 'on' or 'off'
: -GAP_CREATE => gap creation penalty (G, 5)
: -GAP_EXTEND => gap extension penalty (E, 2)
: -GEN_CODE => integer for special genetic code (see below) blastx only
: -GRAPH => 'on' or 'off' (graphical overview not yet supported)
: -HISTOGRAM => 'on' or 'off' or 'both'
: -HTML => 'on' or 'off' or 'both'
: -INPUT_TYPE => 'Sequence in FASTA format' or 'Accession or GI'
: -MATRIX => substitution scoring matrix (blast1 only for NCBI server)
: -NCBI_GI => 'on' or 'off'
: -MATCH => match reward (r, 1) (blastn only)
: -MAX_LEN => max query sequence length to blast
: -MIN_LEN => min query sequence length to blast
: -MISMATCH => mismatch penalty (q, -3) (blastn only)
: -ORGANISM => organism name to limit Blast2 search.
: -ORGANISM_CUSTOM => custom organism or taxon name.
: -OUT_DIR => output directory to store blast result files
: -PROG => name of blast program (blastp, blastx, etc.)
: -SEQS => ref to an array of Bio::Seq.pm objects.
: -SERVER => blast server to use (default is NCBI Blast2)
: -STRAND => Default = 'Both' (not used by NCBI servers)
: -VERSION => blast version (1, 2, PSI, WashU)
: -WORD => word size (W, 11 for blastn, 3 for all others)
#rnc: LIST_ORG
# valid list_org entries for blast2 are a string of 50 chars max, default is empty string
:
Throws : Exception if:
: - Cannot obtain parameters by calling _rearrange() on the
: first argument, which should be a Bio::Tools::Blast.pm object ref.
: - No sequences are provided.
: - Sequence type is incompatible with Blast program type.
: - Database name is not one of the valid names.
: - Supplied e-mail address looks invalid.

APPENDIX 2: Parameter listings
Parameters for Blast (NCBI ungapped, no longer supported by NCBI so should dicontinue use of ungapped blast), Blast2 (NCBI), PSI-Blast2 (NCBI). WashU-Blast2 has yet to be added as does PHI-Blast2 (NCBI).
These lists of parameters for posting to blast servers were obtained directly from the respective WWW forms for each server.
