The BLAST programs are a family of widely used algorithms for sequence database searches. The reports are non-trivial to parse, and there are differences in the formats of the various flavors of BLAST. BPlite parses BLASTN, BLASTP, BLASTX, TBLASTN, and TBLASTX reports from both the high performance WU-BLAST, and the more generic NCBI-BLAST. Many people have developed BLAST parsers (I myself have made at least three). BPlite is for those people who would rather not have a giant object specification, but rather a simple handle to a BLAST report that works well in pipes. =head2 Object BPlite has three kinds of objects, the report, the subject, and the HSP. To create a new report, you pass a filehandle reference to the BPlite constructor. my $report = new Bio::EnsEMBL::Analysis::Tools::BPlite(-fh=>\*STDIN); # or any other filehandle The report has two attributes (query and database), and one method (nextSbjct). $report->query; # access to the query name $report->database; # access to the database name $report->nextSbjct; # gets the next subject while(my $sbjct = $report->nextSbjct) { # canonical form of use is in a while loop } A subject is a BLAST hit, which should not be confused with an HSP (below). A BLAST hit may have several alignments associated with it. A useful way of thinking about it is that a subject is a gene and HSPs are the exons. Subjects have one attribute (name) and one method (nextHSP). $sbjct->name; # access to the subject name "$sbjct"; # overloaded to return name $sbjct->nextHSP; # gets the next HSP from the sbjct while(my $hsp = $sbjct->nextHSP) { # canonical form is again a while loop } An HSP is a high scoring pair, or simply an alignment. HSP objects inherit all the useful methods from RangeI/SeqFeatureI/FeaturePair, but provide an additional set of attributes (score, bits, percent, P, match, positive, length, querySeq, sbjctSeq, homologySeq) that should be familiar to anyone who has seen a blast report. For lazy/efficient coders, two-letter abbreviations are available for the attributes with long names (qs, ss, hs). Ranges of the aligned sequences in query/subject and other information (like seqname) are stored in SeqFeature objects (i.e.: $hsp-E<gt>query, $hsp-E<gt>subject which is equal to $hsp-E<gt>feature1, $hsp-E<gt>feature2). querySeq, sbjctSeq and homologySeq do only contain the alignment sequences from the blast report. $hsp->score; $hsp->bits; $hsp->percent; $hsp->P; $hsp->match; $hsp->positive; $hsp->length; $hsp->querySeq; $hsp->qs; $hsp->sbjctSeq; $hsp->ss; $hsp->homologySeq; $hsp->hs; $hsp->query->start; $hsp->query->end; $hsp->query->seqname; $hsp->subject->primary_tag; # "similarity" $hsp->subject->source_tag; # "BLAST" $hsp->subject->start; $hsp->subject->end; ... "$hsp"; # overloaded for query->start..query->end bits I've included a little bit of overloading for double quote variable interpolation convenience. A subject will return its name and an HSP will return its query-E<gt>start, query-E<gt>end, and bits in the alignment. Feel free to modify this to whatever is most frequently used by you. So a very simple look into a BLAST report might look like this. my $report = new Bio::EnsEMBL::Analysis::Tools::BPlite(-fh=>\*STDIN); while(my $sbjct = $report->nextSbjct) { print "$sbjct\n"; while(my $hsp = $sbjct->nextHSP) { print "\t$hsp\n"; } } The output of such code might look like this: >foo 100..155 29.5 268..300 20.1 >bar 100..153 28.5 265..290 22.1 =head1 AUTHORS Ian Korf (ikorf@sapiens.wustl.edu, http://sapiens.wustl.edu/~ikorf), Lorenz Pollak (lorenz@ist.org, bioperl port) =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This software was developed at the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington Univeristy, St. Louis, MO. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1999 Ian Korf.
