NAME¶
Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Sim4 - Wrapper for Sim4 program that allows for
alignment of cdna to genomic sequences
SYNOPSIS¶
use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Sim4;
my @params = (W=>15,K=>17,D=>10,N=>10,cdna_seq=>"mouse_cdna.fa",genomic_seq=>"mouse_genomic.fa");
my $sim4 = Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Sim4->new(@params);
my @exon_sets = $sim4->align;
foreach my $set(@exon_sets){
foreach my $exon($set->sub_SeqFeature){
print $exon->start."\t".$exon->end."\t".$exon->strand."\n";
print "\tMatched ".$exon->est_hit->seq_id."\t".$exon->est_hit->start."\t".$exon->est_hit->end."\n";
}
}
One can also provide a est database
$sio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=>"est.fa",-format=>"fasta");
@est_seq=();
while(my $seq = $sio->next_seq){
push @est_seq,$seq;
}
my @exon_sets = $factory->align(\@est_seq,$genomic);
DESCRIPTION¶
Sim4 program is developed by Florea et al. for aligning cdna/est sequence to
genomic sequences
Florea L, Hartzell G, Zhang Z, Rubin GM, Miller W. A computer program for
aligning a cDNA sequence with a genomic DNA sequence. Genome Res 1998
Sep;8(9):967-74

FEEDBACK¶
Mailing Lists¶
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl
modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl
mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support¶
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive
experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please
include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if
at all possible.
Reporting Bugs¶

APPENDIX¶
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal
methods are usually preceded with a _
program_name¶
Title : program_name
Usage : $factory->program_name()
Function: holds the program name
Returns: string
Args : None
program_dir¶
Title : program_dir
Usage : $factory->program_dir(@params)
Function: returns the program directory, obtained from ENV variable.
Returns: string
Args :
version¶
Title : version
Usage : not supported
Function: Cannot determine from program
Example :
Returns : float or undef
Args : none
align¶
Title : align
Usage :
$cdna = 't/data/cdna.fa';
$genomic = 't/data/cdna.fa';
@exon_set = $factory->align($cdna,$genomic);
or
#@seq_array is array of Seq objs
$cdna = \@seq_array;
@exon_set = $factory->align($cdna,$genomic);
of
@exon_set = $factory->align($cdna->[0],$genomic)
Function: Perform a Sim4 alignment
Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects which has
exons as sub seqfeatures.
Args : Name of two files containing fasta sequences,
or 2 Bio::SeqI objects
or a combination of both
first is assumed to be cdna
second is assumed to be genomic
More than one cdna may be provided. If an object,
assume that its an array ref.
_run¶
Title : _run
Usage : Internal function, not to be called directly
Function: makes actual system call to Sim4 program
Example :
Returns : nothing; Sim4 output is written to a temp file
Args : Name of a file containing a set of unaligned fasta sequences
and hash of parameters to be passed to Sim4
Title : _setinput
Usage : Internal function, not to be called directly
Function: Create input file for Sim4 program
Example :
Returns : name of file containing Sim4 data input
Args : Seq or Align object reference or input file name
_setparams()¶
Title : _setparams
Usage : Internal function, not to be called directly
Function: Create parameter inputs for Sim4 program
Example :
Returns : parameter string to be passed to Sim4
during align or profile_align
Args : name of calling object
