Bio::Tools::Geneid(3)

NAME
Bio::Tools::Geneid - Results of one geneid run

SYNOPSIS
  use Bio::Tools::Geneid;
  my $gid = Bio::Tools::Geneid(-file => "geneid.out");

  while (my $gene = $gid->next_prediction)
  {
    my @transcripts = $gene->transcripts;
      foreach my $t (@transcripts)
      {
        my @exons = $t->exons;
        foreach my $e (@exons)
        {
          printf("Exon %d..%d\n", $e->start, $e->end);
        }
      }
  }

DESCRIPTION
This is the parser for the output of geneid by Enrique Blanco and Roderic Guigó (IMIM-UPF). See http://www1.imim.es/software/geneid. It relies on native geneid output format internally and will work with geneid versions 1.0 and 1.1. Currently this module supports only the default mode of operation which is to predict exons and assemble an optimal gene prediction.

It takes either a file handle or a file name and returns a Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::GeneStructure object.

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

  new
 Title   : new
 Usage   : $obj->new(-file = "<geneid.out");
           $obj->new(-fh => \*GI);
 Function: Constructor for geneid wrapper. Takes either a file
         : or filehandle
 Returns : L<Bio::Tools::Geneid>

  next_prediction
 Title   : next_prediction
 Usage   : while($gene = $geneid->next_prediction)
           {
               # do something
           }
 Function: Returns the gene structure prediction of the geneid result
           file. Call this method repeatedly until FALSE is returned.
 Returns : A Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::GeneStructure object
 Args    : None

  _add_exon
 Title   : _add_exon
 Usage   : $obj->_add_exon($gene, $transcript, ... exon data ...)
 Function: Adds a new exon to both gene and transcript from the data
         : supplied as args
 Example :
 Returns : Nothing

  _set_strand
 Title   : _set_strand
 Usage   : $obj->_set_strand($gene)
 Function: Sets the overall gene strand to the same strand as all
         : the exons if they are all on the same strand, or to strand 0
         : if the exons are on different strands.
 Example :
 Returns : Nothing

  _target_id
 Title   : _target_id
 Usage   : $obj->_target_id
 Function: get/set for genomic sequence id
 Example :
 Returns : A target ID
