The concept behind this class and the interface it implements (Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactoryI) is a generic analysis result parsing in high-throughput automated sequence annotation pipelines. See Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI for more documentation of this concept. You can always find out the methods an instance of this class knows about by the way given in the SYNOPSIS section. By default, and assuming that the documentation is up-to-date, this will comprise of genscan, mzef, estscan, blast, hmmer, gff, and sim4 (all case-insensitive). =head1 FEEDBACK =head2 Mailing Lists User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules.

Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut package Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactory; use strict; use Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactoryI; use Bio::Factory::DriverFactory; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = qw(Bio::Factory::DriverFactory Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactoryI); BEGIN { Bio::Factory::DriverFactory->register_driver ( "genscan" => "Bio::Tools::Genscan", "mzef" => "Bio::Tools::MZEF", "estscan" => "Bio::Tools::ESTScan", "bplite" => "Bio::Tools::BPlite", "blast" => "Bio::Tools::BPlite", "hmmer" => "Bio::Tools::HMMER::Result", "gff" => "Bio::Tools::GFF", "sim4" => "Bio::Tools::Sim4::Results", "epcr" => "Bio::Tools::EPCR", "exonerate" => "Bio::Tools::Exonerate", ); } sub new { my ($class, @args) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args); # no per-object initialization right now - registration of default drivers # is only done once when the module is loaded return $self; } =head2 get_parser Title : get_parser Usage : $factory->get_parser(-input=>$inputobj, [ -params=>[@params] ], -method => $method) Function: Creates and returns a parser object for the given input and method. Both file names and streams (filehandles) are allowed. Parameters (-params argument) are passed on to the parser object and therefore are specific to the parser to be created. Example : Returns : A Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI implementing object. Exception if creation of the parser object fails. Args : B<input> - object/file where analysis results are coming from, B<params> - parameter to use when parsing/running analysis B<method> - method of analysis =cut sub get_parser { my ($self, @args) = @_; my $parser; my $module; my ($input, $params, $method) = $self->_rearrange([qw(INPUT PARAMS METHOD)], @args); # retrieve module name for requested method $method = lc $method; # method is case-insensitive $module = $self->get_driver($method); if(! defined($module)) { $self->throw("Analysis parser driver for method $method not registered."); } # load module $self->_load_module($module); # throws an exception on failure to load # make sure parameters is not undef $params = [] if( !defined $params ); # figure out input method (file or stream) my $inputmethod = '-file'; if( ref($input) =~ /GLOB/i ) { $inputmethod = '-fh'; } # instantiate parser and return the result $parser = $module->new($inputmethod => $input, @$params); if(! $parser->isa('Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI')) { $self->throw("Driver $module registered for method $method does not implement Bio::SeqAnalyisParserI.
