Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bio.perl.org/MailList.html - About the mailing lists The locatable sequence object was developed mainly because the SimpleAlign object requires this functionality, and in the rewrite of the Sequence object we had to decide what to do with this. It is, to be honest, not well integrated with the rest of bioperl, for example, the trunc() function does not return a LocatableSeq object, as some might have thought. There are all sorts of nasty gotcha's about interactions between coordinate systems when these sort of objects are used. =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut #' # Let the code begin... package Bio::LocatableSeq; use vars qw(@ISA); use strict; use Bio::PrimarySeq; use Bio::RangeI; use Bio::Location::Simple; use Bio::Location::Fuzzy; @ISA = qw(Bio::PrimarySeq Bio::RangeI); sub new { my ($class, @args) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args); my ($start,$end,$strand) = $self->_rearrange( [qw(START END STRAND)], @args); defined $start && $self->start($start); defined $end && $self->end($end); defined $strand && $self->strand($strand); return $self; # success - we hope! } =head2 start Title : start Usage : $obj->start($newval) Function: Returns : value of start Args : newvalue (optional) =cut sub start{ my $self = shift; if( @_ ) { my $value = shift; $self->{'start'} = $value; } return $self->{'start'}; } =head2 end Title : end Usage : $obj->end($newval) Function: Returns : value of end Args : newvalue (optional) =cut sub end { my $self = shift; if( @_ ) { my $value = shift; my $string = $self->seq; if ($string and $self->start) { my $s2 = $string; $string =~ s/[.-]+//g; my $len = CORE::length $string; my $new_end = $self->start + $len - 1 ; my $id = $self->id; $self->warn("In sequence $id residue count gives value $len.

Function: Gets number of gaps in the sequence. The count excludes leading or trailing gap characters. Valid bioperl sequence characters are [A-Za-z\-\.\*]. Of these, '.' and '-' are counted as gap characters unless an optional argument specifies one of them. Returns : number of internal gaps in the sequnce. Args : a gap character (optional) =cut sub no_gaps { my ($self,$char) = @_; my ($seq, $count) = (undef, 0); # default gap characters $char ||= '-.'; $self->warn("I hope you know what you are doing setting gap to [$char]") unless $char =~ /[-.]/; $seq = $self->seq; return 0 unless $seq; # empty sequence does not have gaps $seq =~ s/^([$char]+)//; $seq =~ s/([$char]+)$//; $count++ while $seq =~ /[$char]+/g; return $count; } =head2 column_from_residue_number Title : column_from_residue_number Usage : $col = $seq->column_from_residue_number($resnumber) Function: This function gives the position in the alignment (i.e. column number) of the given residue number in the sequence. For example, for the sequence Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.GH column_from_residue_number(94) returns 5. An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie outside the length of the aligment (e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 ) Returns : A column number for the position of the given residue in the given sequence (1 = first column) Args : A residue number in the whole sequence (not just that segment of it in the alignment) =cut sub column_from_residue_number { my ($self, $resnumber) = @_; $self->throw("Residue number has to be a positive integer, not [$resnumber]") unless $resnumber =~ /^\d+$/ and $resnumber > 0; if ($resnumber >= $self->start() and $resnumber <= $self->end()) { my @residues = split //, $self->seq; my $count = $self->start(); my $i; for ($i=0; $i < @residues; $i++) { if ($residues[$i] ne '.' and $residues[$i] ne '-') { $count == $resnumber and last; $count++; } } # $i now holds the index of the column. # The actual column number is this index + 1 return $i+1; } $self->throw("Could not find residue number $resnumber"); } =head2 location_from_column Title : location_from_column Usage : $loc = $ali->location_from_column( $seq_number, $column_number) Function: This function gives the residue number in the sequence with the given name for a given position in the alignment (i.e. column number) of the given. Gaps complicate this process and force the output to be a L<Bio::Range> where values can be undefined. For example, for the alignment Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.G. Seq2/1-9 .CYHDEFKGK location_from_column( Seq1/91-97, 3 ) position 93 location_from_column( Seq1/91-97, 2 ) position 92^93 location_from_column( Seq1/91-97, 10) position 97^98 location_from_column( Seq2/1-9, 1 ) position undef An exact position returns a Bio::Location::Simple object where where location_type() returns 'EXACT', if a position is between bases location_type() returns 'IN-BETWEEN'. Column before the first residue returns undef. Note that if the position is after the last residue in the alignment, that there is no guarantee that the original sequence has residues after that position. An exception is thrown if the column number is not within the sequence. Returns : Bio::Location::Simple or undef Args : A column number Throws : If column is not within the sequence See L<Bio::Location::Simple> for more. =cut sub location_from_column { my ($self, $column) = @_; $self->throw("Column number has to be a positive integer, not [$column]") unless $column =~ /^\d+$/ and $column > 0; $self->throw("Column number [column] is larger than". " sequence length [". $self->length. "]") unless $column <= $self->length; my ($loc); my $s = $self->subseq(1,$column); $s =~ s/\W//g; my $pos = CORE::length $s; my $start = $self->start || 0 ; if ($self->subseq($column, $column) =~ /[a-zA-Z]/ ) { $loc = new Bio::Location::Simple (-start => $pos + $start - 1, -end => $pos + $start - 1, -strand => 1 ); } elsif ($pos == 0 and $self->start == 1) { } else { $loc = new Bio::Location::Simple (-start => $pos + $start - 1, -end => $pos +1 + $start - 1, -strand => 1, -location_type => 'IN-BETWEEN' ); } return $loc; } =head2 revcom Title : revcom Usage : $rev = $seq->revcom() Function: Produces a new Bio::LocatableSeq object which has the reversed complement of the sequence. For protein sequences this throws an exception of "Sequence is a protein. Cannot revcom" Returns : A new Bio::LocatableSeq object Args : none =cut sub revcom { my ($self) = @_; my $new = $self->SUPER::revcom; $new->strand($self->strand * -1); $new->start($self->start) if $self->start; $new->end($self->end) if $self->end; return $new; } =head2 trunc Title : trunc Usage : $subseq = $myseq->trunc(10,100); Function: Provides a truncation of a sequence, Example : Returns : a fresh Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object Args : Two integers denoting first and last columns of the sequence to be included into sub-sequence. =cut sub trunc { my ($self, $start, $end) = @_; my $new = $self->SUPER::trunc($start, $end); $start = $self->location_from_column($start); $start ? ($start = $start->start) : ($start = 1); $end = $self->location_from_column($end); $end = $end->start if $end; $new->strand($self->strand); $new->start($start) if $start; $new->end($end) if $end; return $new; } 1;
