NAME

Bio::Gonzales - Speedy functions to manipulate biological data

SYNOPSIS

Biological data analysis is often cumbersome: most tasks are very similar, but still there is a small difference between them. Bio::Gonzales gives you the modules and functions that make data crunching easy and speedy, while keeping the flexibility.

It should not be complete, the focus relies on a few standard formats. If one is burning in format hell, Bio::Perl might be a much better complement.

To outline the simple usage, here an example to read a fasta sequence file into a array of Bio::Gonzales::Seq objects.

use Bio::Gonzales::Seq::IO qw/faslurp/;

my @seqs = faslurp('sequences.fa');

# Oh, f**k, somebody sent me gzipped fasta files!
# Calm down! Gonzales has a speedy answer for that:

my @seqs = faslurp('sequences.fa.gz');

DESCRIPTION

Introdution

Motivation for this package is the lack of speed or ease of use or both in other modules. The main branches are grouped into

Working with genomic features (representation, grouping, GFF3 input/output)
Workgin with sequences (FASTA input/output, basic sequence manipulation and cleaning)
Multiple sequence alignment input/output
File and folder templates to organise computational experiments
BLAST & HMMER3 parsing
Standard utility functions

Stable modules

Bio::Gonzales::Seq::IO

Bio::Gonzales::Range::Overlap

Bio::Gonzales::Matrix::IO

Bio::Gonzales::Seq

Bio::Gonzales::Feat::IO::GFF3

Bio::Gonzales::Feat

Bio::Gonzales::Project::Functions

Stable, but undocumented

Bio::Gonzales::Project

Bio::Gonzales::MiniFeat
