Description
A contig is as a set of sequences, locally aligned to each other, so
that every sequence has overlapping regions with at least one sequence
in the contig, such that a continuous of overlapping sequences is
formed, allowing the deduction of a consensus sequence which may be
longer than any of the sequences from which it was deduced.
In this documentation we refer to the overlapping sequences used to
build the contig as "aligned sequences" and to the sequence deduced
from the overlap of aligned sequences as the "consensus". Methods to
deduce the consensus sequence from aligned sequences were not yet
implemented in this module, but its posssible to add a consensus
sequence deduced by other means, e.g, by the assembly program used to
build the alignment.
All aligned sequences in a Bio::Assembly::Contig must be Bio::Assembly::Locatable
objects and have a unique ID. The unique ID restriction is due to the
nature of the module's internal data structures and is also a request
of some assembly programs. If two sequences with the same ID are added
to a contig, the first sequence added is replaced by the second one. There are four base coordinate systems in Bio::Assembly::Contig. When
you need to access contig elements or data that exists on a certain
range or location, you may be specifying coordinates in relation to
different sequences, which may be either the contig consensus or one
of the aligned sequences that were used to do the assembly.
 =========================================================
Name | Referenced sequence
---------------------------------------------------------
"gapped consensus" | Contig (with gaps)
"ungapped consensus" | Contig (without gaps)
"aligned $seqID" | sequence $seqID (with gaps)
"unaligned $seqID" | sequence $seqID (without gaps)
=========================================================
"gapped consensus" refers to positions in the aligned consensus
sequence, which is the consensus sequence including the gaps inserted
to align it agains the aligned sequences that were used to assemble
the contig. So, its limits are [ 1, (consensus length + number of gaps
in consensus) ]
"ungapped consensus" is a coordinate system based on the consensus
sequence, but excluding consensus gaps. This is just the coordinate
system that you have when considering the consensus sequence alone,
instead of aligned to other sequences.
"aligned $seqID" refers to locations in the sequence $seqID after
alignment of $seqID against the consensus sequence (reverse
complementing the original sequence, if needed). Coordinate 1 in
"aligned $seqID" is equivalent to the start location (first base) of
$seqID in the consensus sequence, just like if the aligned sequence
$seqID was a feature of the consensus sequence.
"unaligned $seqID" is equivalent to a location in the isolated
sequence, just like you would have when considering the sequence
alone, out of an alignment. When changing coordinates from "aligned
$seq2" to "unaligned $seq2", if $seq2 was reverse complemented when
included in the alignment, the output coordinates will be reversed to
fit that fact, i.e. 1 will be changed to length($seq2), 2 will be
length($seq)-1 and so on.
An important note: when you change gap coordinates from a gapped
system ("gapped consensus" or "aligned $seqID") to a system that does
not include gaps ("ungapped consensus" or "unaligned $seqID"), the
position returned will be the first location before all gaps
neighboring the input location. Bio::Assembly::Contig stores much information about a contig in a
Bio::Assembly::SeqFeature::Collection object. Relevant information on the
alignment is accessed by selecting features based on their primary
tags (e.g. all features which have a primary tag of the form
'_aligned_coord:$seqID', where $seqID is an aligned sequence ID, are
coordinates for sequences in the contig alignment) and, by using
methods from Bio::Assembly::SeqFeature::Collection, it's possible to select
features by overlap with other features.
We suggest that you use the primary tags of features as identifiers
for feature classes. By convention, features with primary tags
starting with a '_' are generated by modules that populate the contig
data structure and return the contig object, maybe as part of an
assembly object, e.g. drivers from the Bio::Assembly::IO set.
Features in the features collection may be associated with particular
aligned sequences. To obtain this, you must attach the sequence to the
feature, using attach() seq from Bio::Assembly::SeqFeatureI, before you add the
feature to the feature collection. We also suggest to add the sequence
id to the primary tag, so that is easy to select feature for a
particular sequence.
There is only one feature class that some methods in
Bio::Assembly::Contig expect to find in the feature collection: features
with primary tags of the form '_aligned_coord:$seqID', where $seqID is
the aligned sequence id (like returned by $seq->id()). These features
describe the position (in "gapped consensus" coordinates) of aligned
sequences, and the method set_seq_coord() automatically changes a
feature's primary tag to this form whenever the feature is added to
the collection by this method. Only two methods in Bio::Assembly::Contig
will not work unless there are features from this class:
change_coord() and get_seq_coord().
Other feature classes will be automatically available only when
Bio::Assembly::Contig objects are created by a specific module. Such
feature classes are (or should be) documented in the documentation of
the module which create them, to which the user should refer.

add_featurescodeprevnextTop
 Title     : add_features
Usage : $contig->add_features($feat,$flag)
Function :
Add an array of features to the contig feature collection. The consensus sequence may be attached to the added feature, if $flag is set to 1. If $flag is 0 and the feature attached to one of the contig aligned sequences, the feature is registered as an aligned sequence feature. If $flag is 0 and the feature is not attched to any sequence in the contig, the feature is simply added to the feature collection and no attachment or registration is made. Note: You must attach aligned sequences to their features prior to calling add_features, otherwise you won't be able to access the feature through get_seq_feat_by_tag() method. Returns : number of features added. Argument : $feat : A reference to an array of Bio::SeqFeatureI $flag : boolean - true if consensus sequence object should be attached to this feature, false if no consensus attachment should be made. Default: false.

Usage : $str = $contig->consensus_iupac()
Function :
Makes a consensus using IUPAC ambiguity codes from DNA and RNA. The output is in upper case except when gaps in a column force output to be in lower case. Note that if your alignment sequences contain a lot of IUPAC ambiquity codes you often have to manually set alphabet. Bio::PrimarySeq::_guess_type thinks they indicate a protein sequence.

APPENDIXTop
The rest of the documentation details each of the object
methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Object creatorTop
Assembly related methodsTop
These methods exist to enable adding information about possible
relations among contigs, e.g. when you already have a scaffold for
your assembly, describing the ordering of contigs in the final
assembly, but no sequences covering the gaps between neighboring
contigs.
Contig feature collection methodsTop
Coordinate system's related methodsTop
See Coordinate_Systems above.
Bio::Assembly::Contig consensus methodsTop
Bio::Assembly::Contig aligned sequences methodsTop
Bio::Align::AlignI compatible methodsTop
Modifier methodsTop
These methods modify the MSE by adding, removing or shuffling complete
sequences.
Sequence selection methodsTop
Methods returning one or more sequences objects.
Create new alignmentsTop
The result of these methods are horizontal or vertical subsets of the
current MSE.
Change sequences within the MSETop
These methods affect characters in all sequences without changeing the
alignment.
MSE attibutesTop
Methods for setting and reading the MSE attributes.
Note that the methods defining character semantics depend on the user
to set them sensibly. They are needed only by certain input/output
methods. Unset them by setting to an empty string ('').
Alignment descriptorsTop
These read only methods describe the MSE in various ways.
maxdisplayname_lengthTop
 Title     : maxdisplayname_length
Usage : $contig->maxdisplayname_length()
Function :
Gets the maximum length of the displayname in the alignment. Used in writing out various MSE formats. Returns : integer Argument :
Alignment positionsTop
Methods to map a sequence position into an alignment column and back.
column_from_residue_number() does the former. The latter is really a
property of the sequence object and can done using
Bio::LocatableSeq::location_from_column:
    # select somehow a sequence from the alignment, e.g.
my $seq = $contig->get_seq_by_pos(1);
#$loc is undef or Bio::LocationI object
my $loc = $seq->location_from_column(5);
Sequence namesTop
Methods to manipulate the display name. The default name based on the
sequence id and subsequence positions can be overridden in various
ways.
Internal MethodsTop
