SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::StandAloneFasta;
use Bio::SeqIO;
use strict;
my @arg=(
'b' =>'15',
'O' =>'resultfile',
'H'=>'',
'program'=>'fasta34'
);

my $factory=Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::StandAloneFasta->new(@arg);
$factory->ktup(1);

$factory->library('p');

#print result file name
print $factory->O;


my @fastreport=$factory->run($ARGV[0]);

foreach  (@fastreport) {
      print "Parsed fasta report:\n";
  my $result = $_->next_result;
  while( my $hit = $result->next_hit()) {
     print "\thit name: ", $hit->name(), "\n";
       while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp()) {
       print "E: ", $hsp->evalue(), "frac_identical: ",
      $hsp->frac_identical(), "\n";
       }
    }
  }

 #pass in seq objects
 my $sio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=>$ARGV[0],-format=>"fasta");

 my @fastreport=$factory->run($ARGV[0]);

DESCRIPTION

This wrapper works with version 3 of the FASTA program package (see W. R. Pearson and D. J. Lipman (1988), "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Analysis", PNAS 85:2444-2448 (Pearson and Lipman, 1988); W. R. Pearson (1996) "Effective protein sequence comparison" Meth. Enzymol. 266:227-258 (Pearson, 1996); Pearson et. al. (1997) Genomics 46:24-36 (Zhang et al., 1997); Pearson, (1999) Meth. in Molecular Biology 132:185-219 (Pearson, 1999). Version 3 of the FASTA packages contains many programs for searching DNA and protein databases and one program (prss3) for evaluating statistical significance from randomly shuffled sequences.

Fasta is available at ftp://ftp.virginia.edu/pub/fasta

FEEDBACK

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.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

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.

Appendix

The rest of the documendation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are preceded with a underscore

program_name

Title   : program_name
Usage   : $factory->program_name()
Function: holds the program name
Returns:  string     
Args    : None

executable

Title   : executable
Usage   : my $exe = $blastfactory->executable('blastall');
Function: Finds the full path to the 'codeml' executable
Returns : string representing the full path to the exe
Args    : [optional] name of executable to set path to 
          [optional] boolean flag whether or not warn when exe is not found

program_dir

Title   : program_dir
Usage   : $factory->program_dir(@params)
Function: returns the program directory, obtained from ENV variable.
Returns:  string
Args    :

run

Title   : run

Usage   : my @fasta_object = $factory->($input,$onefile);
          where $factory is the name of executable FASTA program;
          $input is file name containing the sequences in the format 
          of fasta  or Bio::Seq object or array of Bio::Seq object;
          $onefile is 0 if you want to save the outputs to different files 
          default: outputs are saved in one file

Function: Attempts to run an executable FASTA program  
          and return array of  fasta objects containing the fasta report 
Returns : aray of fasta report object
          If the user specify the output file(s), 
          the raw fasta report will be saved
Args    : sequence object OR array reference of sequence objects
          filename of file containing fasta formatted sequences

library

Title   : library
Usage   : my $lb = $self->library
Function: Fetch or set the name of the library to search against
Returns : The name of the library 
Args    : No argument if user wants to fetch the name of library file; 
          A letter or a string of letter preceded by %; 
          (e.g. P or %pn, the letter is  the character in the third field  
          of any line of fastlibs file  ) or the name of library file 
          (if environmental variable FASTLIBS is not set); 
           if user wants to set the name of library file to search against

output

Title   : output
Usage   : $obj->output($newval)
Function: The output directory if we want to use this
Example : 
Returns : value of output (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

ktup

Title   :  ktup
Usage   :  my $ktup = $self->ktup 
Function:  Fetch or set the ktup value for executable FASTA programs
Example :
Returns :  The value of ktup  if defined, else undef is returned 
Args    :  No argument if user want to fetch ktup value; A integer value between 1-6 if user want to set the
          ktup value

_setinput

Title   :  _setinput
Usage   :  Internal function, not to be called directly  
Function:   Create input file(s) for Blast executable
Example :
Returns : array of Bio::Seq object reference
Args    : Seq object reference or input file name

_exist

Title   : _exist
Usage   : Internal function, not to be called directly
Function: Determine whether a executable FASTA program can be found 
          Cf. the DESCRIPTION section of this POD for how to make sure
          for your FASTA installation to be found. This method checks for
          existence of the blastall executable in the path.
Returns : 1 if FASTA program found at expected location, 0 otherwise.
Args    :  none

_setparams

Title   :  _setparams
Usage   :  Internal function, not to be called directly  
Function:  Create parameter inputs for FASTA executable
Returns : part of parameter string to be passed to FASTA program
Args    : none
