NAME

Bio::Grep::Cookbook - Bio::Grep Cookbook

DESCRIPTION

This collection of recipes intends to provide you solutions for the most common problems and to make the development process easier.

RECIPES

All recipes assume that the database is generated in the directory data. The analyses of the search results are omitted, meaning you have to append somthing like

while ( my $res = $sbe->next_res ) {
  ...
}

to the recipes.

Search for DNA motifs

    You want to search for DNA motifs.

    Solution A: (Assumes that the number of possible motifs is rather small and the database is large)

     use Bio::Grep;
 use Bio::SeqIO;

 my $sbe = Bio::Grep->new('Vmatch');

 my $out = Bio::SeqIO->new( -format => 'Fasta',
                            -file   => '>motifs.fasta',
                          );

 # you have an array with DNA sequences
 my @motifs = ( 'aaaaaa', 'gggggg' );
 
 for my $i (0 .. $#motifs ) {
    my $seq = Bio::Seq->new(
            -id => $i,
            -seq => $motifs[$i],
        );
    $out->write_seq($seq);
 }

 $sbe->search({
    datapath   => 'data',
    database   => 'Test.fasta',
    query_file => 'motifs.fasta',
    complete   => 1,
 });

    Solution B: (Assumes that the number of possible motifs is large and the database is small)

     use Bio::Grep;

 my $sbe = Bio::Grep->new('RE');

 my $motif = '[AC]{4}TAAAA[AGCT]GG';

 $sbe->search({
    datapath  => 'data',
    database  => 'Test.fasta',
    query      => $motif,
 });

    Note that the search for exact matches is fast with Vmatch, so the enumeration of all possible motifs (Solution A) can often be the best method.
