NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Eponine - Object for execution of the Eponine which is a mammalian TSS predictor

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::Run::Eponine;
  use strict;
  my $seq = "/data/seq.fa";
  my $threshold  = "0.999";
  my @params = ( '-seq' => $seq,
  		 '-threshold' => $threshold,
	         '-epojar'  => '/usr/local/bin/eponine-scan.jar',
	          '-java'  => '/usr/local/bin/java');

  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Eponine->new(@params);
  # run eponine against fasta
  my $r = $factory->run($seq);
  my $parser = Bio::Tools::Eponine->new($r);

  while (my $feat = $parser->next_prediction){
	  #$feat contains array of SeqFeature
	  foreach my $orf($feat){
		  print $orf->seqname. "\n";
	  }
  }

 # Various additional options and input formats are available.  See
 # the DESCRIPTION section for details.

DESCRIPTION

wrapper for eponine, a mammalian TSS predictor.

The environment variable EPONINEDIR must be set to point at either the directory which contains eponine-scan.jar or directly at the jar which eponine-scan classfiles. NOTE: EPONINEDIR must point at the real file not a symlink.
