NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap - Wrapper for running gmap.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap;
use Bio::SeqIO;

my $sio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=>$filename ,-format=>'fasta');
my @seq;
while(my $seq = $sio->next_seq()){
  push @seq,$seq;
}
my $mapper =Bio::Tools::Run::Gmap->new();
my $result = $mapper->run(\@seq);

DESCRIPTION

Bioperl-run wrapper around gmap. See http://www.gene.com/share/gmap/ for information about gmap.

It requires a reference to an array of bioperl SeqI objects and returns a reference to a filehandle from which the gmap output can be read.

One can explicitly set the name of the genome database (defaults to NHGD_R36) using the 'genome_db()' method. One can also explicitly set the flags that are passed to gmap (defaults to '-f 9 -5 -e') using the 'flags()' method.

The name of the gmap executable can be overridden using the program_name() method and the directory in which to find that executable can be overridden using the program_dir() method.

APPENDIX

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

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap object
Returns : an instance of Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap
Args    :

version

Title   : version
Usage   : print "gmap version: " . $mapper->version() . "\n";
Function: retrieves and returns the version of the gmap package.
Example :
Returns : scalar string containing the version number.  Probably looks
          like YYYY-MM-DD.
Args    : none.

program_name

Title   : program_name
Usage   : $mapper->program_name('gmap-dev');
          my $pname = $mapper->program_name();
Function: sets/gets the name of the program to run.
Returns : string representing the name of the executable.
Args    : [optional] string representing the name of the executable
          to set.

program_dir

Title   : program_dir
Usage   : $mapper->program_dir('/usr/local/sandbox/gmap/bin');
          my $pdir = $mapper->program_dir();
Function: sets/gets the directory path in which
          to find the gmap executable.
Returns : string representing the path to the directory.
Args    : [optional] string representing the directory path to set.

input_file

Title   : input_file
Usage   : $mapper->input_file('/tmp/moose.fasta');
          my $filename = $mapper->input_file();
Function: sets/gets the name of a file containing sequences
          to be mapped.
Returns : string containing the name of the query sequence.
Args    : [optional] string representing the directory path to set.

genome_db

Title   : genome_db
Usage   : $mapper->genome_db('NHGD_R36');
          my $genome_db = $mapper->genome_db();
Function: sets/gets the name of the genome database, this will be
          passed to gmap using its '-d' flag.
Returns : name of the genome database.
Args    : [optional] string representing the genome db to set.

flags

Title   : flags
Usage   : $mapper->flags('-A -e -5');
          my $flags = $mapper->flags();
Function: sets/gets the flags that will be passed to gmap.
Returns : the current value of the flags that will be passed to gmap.
Args    : [optional] the flags to set.

run

Title   : run
Usage   : $mapper->run()
Function: runs gmap
Example :
Returns : a file handle, opened for reading, for gmap's output.
Args    : An array of references query sequences (as Bio::Seq objects)

_build_fasta_input_file

Title   : _build_fasta_input_file
Usage   : my $seq_file = $self->_build_fasta_input_file(@_);
Function:
Example :
Returns : The name of the temporary file that contains the sequence.
Args    : A reference to an array of Bio::Seq objects.
