=head1 NAME
Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO - PSM parser
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO;
my $psmIO= Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO->new(-file=>$file, -format=>'transfac');
my $release=$psmIO->release; #Using Bio::Matrix::PSM::PsmHeader methods
my $release=$psmIO->release;
while (my $psm=$psmIO->next_psm) {
my %psm_header=$psm->header;
my $ic=$psm_header{IC};
my $sites=$psm_header{sites};
my $width=$psm_header{width};
my $score=$psm_header{e_val};
my $IUPAC=$psm->IUPAC;
}
my $instances=$psm->instances;
foreach my $instance (@{$instances}) {
my $id=$instance->primary_id;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to read DNA position scoring matrices and/or
their respective sequence matches from a file.
There are two header methods, one belonging to
Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::driver and the other to
Bio::Matrix::PSM::Psm. They provide general information about the file
(driver) and for the current PSM result (Psm) respectively. Psm header
method always returns the same thing, but some values in the hash
might be empty, depending on the file you are parsing. You will get
undef in this case (no exceptions are thrown).
Please note that the file header data (commenatries, version, input
data, configuration, etc.) might be obtained through
Bio::Matrix::PSM::PsmHeader methods. Some methods are driver specific
(meme, transfac, etc.): meme: weight mast: seq, instances
If called when you parse a different file type you will get undef. For
example:
my $psmIO= Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO->new(file=>$file, format=>'transfac');
my %seq=$psmIO->seq;
will return an empty hash. To see all methods and how to use them go
to Bio::Matrix::PSM::PsmHeaderI.
See also Bio::Matrix::PSM::PsmI for details on using and manipulating
the parsed data.
The only way to write PFM/PWM is through masta module (something like fasta for
DNA matrices). You can see an example by reading Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::masta
documentation.

=head1 FEEDBACK
=head2 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.

=head2 Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<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.

=head2 new
Title : new
Usage : my $psmIO = Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO->new(-format=>'meme',
-file=>$file);
Function: Associates a file with the appropriate parser
Throws : Throws if the file passed is in HTML format or
if some criteria for the file
format are not met. See L<Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::meme> and
L<Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::transfac> for more details.
Example :
Returns : psm object, associated with a file with matrix file
Args : hash
=cut
sub new {
my($caller,@args) = @_;
my $class = ref($caller) || $caller;
my $self;
# or do we want to call SUPER on an object if $caller is an
# object?

@param{ map { lc $_ } keys %param } = values %param; # lowercase keys
my $format = $param{'-format'} ||
$class->_guess_format( $param{'-file'} || $ARGV[0] ) ||
'scoring';
$class->throw("$format format unrecognized or an argument error occurred\n.") if (!grep(/$format/,@Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::PSMFORMATS));

# normalize capitalization
return unless( $class->_load_format_module($format) );
return "Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::$format"->new(@args);
}
}
=head2 fh
Title : fh
Usage : $obj->fh
Function: Get a filehandle type access to the matrix parser
Example : $fh = $obj->fh; # make a tied filehandle

=head2 _load_format_module
Title : _load_format_module
Usage : *INTERNAL Matrix::PSM::IO stuff*
Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand
=cut

my ($self,$format) = @_;
my $module = "Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::" . $format;
my $ok;

};
if ( $@ ) {
print STDERR <<END;
$self: $format cannot be found
Exception $@
For more information about the Matrix::PSM::IO system please see the
Matrix::PSM::IO docs. This includes ways of checking for formats at
compile time, not run time
