Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::Annotation::Collection; use vars qw(@ISA); use strict; # Object preamble - inherits from Bio::Root::Root use Bio::AnnotationCollectionI; use Bio::AnnotationI; use Bio::Root::Root; use Bio::Annotation::TypeManager; use Bio::Annotation::SimpleValue; @ISA = qw(Bio::Root::Root Bio::AnnotationCollectionI Bio::AnnotationI); =head2 new Title : new Usage : $coll = Bio::Annotation::Collection->new() Function: Makes a new Annotation::Collection object. Returns : Bio::Annotation::Collection Args : none =cut sub new{ my ($class,@args) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args); $self->{'_annotation'} = {}; $self->_typemap(Bio::Annotation::TypeManager->new()); return $self; } =head1 L<Bio::AnnotationCollectionI> implementing methods =cut =head2 get_all_annotation_keys Title : get_all_annotation_keys Usage : $ac->get_all_annotation_keys() Function: gives back a list of annotation keys, which are simple text strings Returns : list of strings Args : none =cut sub get_all_annotation_keys{ my ($self) = @_; return keys %{$self->{'_annotation'}}; } =head2 get_Annotations Title : get_Annotations Usage : my @annotations = $collection->get_Annotations('key') Function: Retrieves all the Bio::AnnotationI objects for one or more specific key(s). If no key is given, returns all annotation objects. The returned objects will have their tagname() attribute set to the key under which they were attached, unless the tagname was already set. Returns : list of Bio::AnnotationI - empty if no objects stored for a key Args : keys (list of strings) for annotations (optional) =cut sub get_Annotations{ my ($self,@keys) = @_; my @anns = (); @keys = $self->get_all_annotation_keys() unless @keys; foreach my $key (@keys) { if(exists($self->{'_annotation'}->{$key})) { push(@anns, map { $_->tagname($key) if ! $_->tagname(); $_; } @{$self->{'_annotation'}->{$key}}); } } return @anns; } =head2 get_all_Annotations Title : get_all_Annotations Usage : Function: Similar to get_Annotations, but traverses and flattens nested annotation collections. This means that collections in the tree will be replaced by their components. Keys will not be passed on to nested collections. I.e., if the tag name of a nested collection matches the key, it will be flattened in its entirety. Hence, for un-nested annotation collections this will be identical to get_Annotations. Example : Returns : an array of L<Bio::AnnotationI> compliant objects Args : keys (list of strings) for annotations (optional) =cut sub get_all_Annotations{ my ($self,@keys) = @_; return map { $_->isa("Bio::AnnotationCollectionI") ? $_->get_all_Annotations() : $_; } $self->get_Annotations(@keys); } =head2 get_num_of_annotations Title : get_num_of_annotations Usage : my $count = $collection->get_num_of_annotations() Function: Returns the count of all annotations stored in this collection Returns : integer Args : none =cut sub get_num_of_annotations{ my ($self) = @_; my $count = 0; map { $count += scalar @$_ } values %{$self->{'_annotation'}}; return $count; } =head1 Implementation specific functions - mainly for adding =cut =head2 add_Annotation Title : add_Annotation Usage : $self->add_Annotation('reference',$object); $self->add_Annotation($object,'Bio::MyInterface::DiseaseI'); $self->add_Annotation($object); $self->add_Annotation('disease',$object,'Bio::MyInterface::DiseaseI'); Function: Adds an annotation for a specific key. If the key is omitted, the object to be added must provide a value via its tagname(). If the archetype is provided, this and future objects added under that tag have to comply with the archetype and will be rejected otherwise. Returns : none Args : annotation key ('disease', 'dblink', ...) object to store (must be Bio::AnnotationI compliant) [optional] object archetype to map future storage of object of these types to =cut sub add_Annotation{ my ($self,$key,$object,$archetype) = @_; # if there's no key we use the tagname() as key if(ref($key) && $key->isa("Bio::AnnotationI") && (! ($object && ref($object)))) { $archetype = $object if $object; $object = $key; $key = $object->tagname(); $key = $key->name() if $key && ref($key); # OntologyTermI $self->throw("Annotation object must have a tagname if key omitted") unless $key; } if( !defined $object ) { $self->throw("Must have at least key and object in add_Annotation"); } if( !ref $object ) { $self->throw("Must add an object. Use Bio::Annotation::{Comment,SimpleValue,OntologyTerm} for simple text additions"); } if( !$object->isa("Bio::AnnotationI") ) { $self->throw("object must be AnnotationI compliant, otherwise we wont add it!"); } # ok, now we are ready! If we don't have an archetype, set it # from the type of the object if( !defined $archetype ) { $archetype = ref $object; } # check typemap, storing if needed. my $stored_map = $self->_typemap->type_for_key($key); if( defined $stored_map ) { # check validity, irregardless of archetype. A little cheeky # this means isa stuff is executed correctly if( !$self->_typemap()->is_valid($key,$object) ) { $self->throw("Object $object was not valid with key $key. If you were adding new keys in, perhaps you want to make use of the archetype method to allow registration to a more basic type"); } } else { $self->_typemap->_add_type_map($key,$archetype); } # we are ok to store if( !defined $self->{'_annotation'}->{$key} ) { $self->{'_annotation'}->{$key} = []; } push(@{$self->{'_annotation'}->{$key}},$object); return 1; } =head2 remove_Annotations Title : remove_Annotations Usage : Function: Remove the annotations for the specified key from this collection. Example : Returns : an array Bio::AnnotationI compliant objects which were stored under the given key(s) Args : the key(s) (tag name(s), one or more strings) for which to remove annotations (optional; if none given, flushes all annotations) =cut sub remove_Annotations{ my ($self, @keys) = @_; @keys = $self->get_all_annotation_keys() unless @keys; my @anns = $self->get_Annotations(@keys); # flush foreach (@keys) { delete $self->{'_annotation'}->{$_}; } return @anns; } =head2 flatten_Annotations Title : flatten_Annotations Usage : Function: Flattens part or all of the annotations in this collection. This is a convenience method for getting the flattened annotation for the given keys, removing the annotation for those keys, and adding back the flattened array. This should not change anything for un-nested collections. Example : Returns : an array Bio::AnnotationI compliant objects which were stored under the given key(s) Args : list of keys (strings) the annotation for which to flatten, defaults to all keys if not given =cut sub flatten_Annotations{ my ($self,@keys) = @_; my @anns = $self->get_all_Annotations(@keys); my @origanns = $self->remove_Annotations(@keys); foreach (@anns) { $self->add_Annotation($_); } return @origanns; } =head1 Bio::AnnotationI methods implementations This is to allow nested annotation: you can a collection as an annotation object to an annotation collection. =cut =head2 as_text Title : as_text Usage : Function: See L<Bio::AnnotationI> Example : Returns : a string Args : none =cut sub as_text{ my $self = shift; my $txt = "Collection consisting of "; my @texts = (); foreach my $ann ($self->get_Annotations()) { push(@texts, $ann->as_text()); } if(@texts) { $txt .= join(", ", map { '['.$_.']'; } @texts); } else { $txt .= "no elements"; } return $txt; } =head2 hash_tree Title : hash_tree Usage : Function: See L<Bio::AnnotationI> Example : Returns : a hash reference Args : none =cut sub hash_tree{ my $self = shift; my $tree = {}; foreach my $key ($self->get_all_annotation_keys()) { # all contained objects will support hash_tree() # (they are AnnotationIs) $tree->{$key} = [$self->get_Annotations($key)]; } return $tree; } =head2 tagname Title : tagname Usage : $obj->tagname($newval) Function: Get/set the tagname for this annotation value. Setting this is optional. If set, it obviates the need to provide a tag to Bio::AnnotationCollectionI when adding this object. When obtaining an AnnotationI object from the collection, the collection will set the value to the tag under which it was stored unless the object has a tag stored already. Example : Returns : value of tagname (a scalar) Args : new value (a scalar, optional) =cut sub tagname{ my $self = shift; return $self->{'tagname'} = shift if @_; return $self->{'tagname'}; } =head1 Backward compatible functions Functions put in for backward compatibility with old Bio::Annotation.pm stuff =cut =head2 description Title : description Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub description{ my ($self,$value) = @_; $self->deprecated("Using old style annotation call on new Annotation::Collection object"); if( defined $value ) { my $val = Bio::Annotation::SimpleValue->new(); $val->value($value); $self->add_Annotation('description',$val); } my ($desc) = $self->get_Annotations('description'); # If no description tag exists, do not attempt to call value on undef: return $desc ? $desc->value : undef; } =head2 add_gene_name Title : add_gene_name Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub add_gene_name{ my ($self,$value) = @_; $self->deprecated("Old style add_gene_name called on new style Annotation::Collection"); my $val = Bio::Annotation::SimpleValue->new(); $val->value($value); $self->add_Annotation('gene_name',$val); } =head2 each_gene_name Title : each_gene_name Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub each_gene_name{ my ($self) = @_; $self->deprecated("Old style each_gene_name called on new style Annotation::Collection"); my @out; my @gene = $self->get_Annotations('gene_name'); foreach my $g ( @gene ) { push(@out,$g->value); } return @out; } =head2 add_Reference Title : add_Reference Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub add_Reference{ my ($self, @values) = @_; $self->deprecated("add_Reference (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection"); # Allow multiple (or no) references to be passed, as per old method foreach my $value (@values) { $self->add_Annotation('reference',$value); } } =head2 each_Reference Title : each_Reference Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub each_Reference{ my ($self) = @_; $self->deprecated("each_Reference (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection"); return $self->get_Annotations('reference'); } =head2 add_Comment Title : add_Comment Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub add_Comment{ my ($self,$value) = @_; $self->deprecated("add_Comment (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection"); $self->add_Annotation('comment',$value); } =head2 each_Comment Title : each_Comment Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub each_Comment{ my ($self) = @_; $self->deprecated("each_Comment (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection"); return $self->get_Annotations('comment'); } =head2 add_DBLink Title : add_DBLink Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub add_DBLink{ my ($self,$value) = @_; $self->deprecated("add_DBLink (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection"); $self->add_Annotation('dblink',$value); } =head2 each_DBLink Title : each_DBLink Usage : Function: Example : Returns : Args : =cut sub each_DBLink{ my ($self) = @_; $self->deprecated("each_DBLink (old style Annotation) on new style Annotation::Collection - use get_Annotations('dblink')"); return $self->get_Annotations('dblink'); } =head1 Implementation management functions =cut =head2 _typemap Title : _typemap Usage : $obj->_typemap($newval) Function: Example : Returns : value of _typemap Args : newvalue (optional) =cut sub _typemap{ my ($self,$value) = @_; if( defined $value) { $self->{'_typemap'} = $value; } return $self->{'_typemap'}; } 1;
