NAME

Bio::Map::Prediction - An object representing the predictions of something that can have multiple locations in several maps.

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Map::Prediction;
  use Bio::Map::Position;

  # normally you would get predictions from a run wrapper like
  # Bio::Tools::Run::Meme, but here we create some manually:
  my $pred1 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'meme');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
						  -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
						  -start => 950,
						  -end => 960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1950,
                          -end => 1960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 955,
                          -end => 965);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
	      				                                 -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1955,
                          -end => 1965);

  my $pred2 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'gerp');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction2,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 950,
                          -end => 960);
  # etc.

  # find the places where predictions agree
  use Bio::Map::GeneRelative;
  my $rel = Bio::Map::GeneRelative->new(-gene => 0);
  my $di = Bio::Map::Mappable->disconnected_intersections([$pred1, $pred2],
                                                -min_mappables_percent => 100,
                                                -min_map_percent => 100,
                                                -relative => $rel);
  my @positions = $di->get_positions;

DESCRIPTION

For example, used to model transcription factor binding site predictions, which can have multiple locations in several maps.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $prediction = Bio::Map::Prediction->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Map::Prediction object
Returns : Bio::Map::Prediction
Args    : -name   => string : name of the mappable element
          -id     => string : id of the mappable element
          -source => string : name of the prediction program

source

 Title   : name
 Usage   : $mappable->name($new_name);
	       my $name = $mappable->name();
 Function: Get/Set the name for this Mappable
 Returns : A scalar representing the current name of this Mappable
 Args    : none to get
           string to set
