NAME

Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result - a class for handling primer design or validation results

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::PrimerDesigner;
 
  #  
  # primer3  
  #  
  my $primer3_obj = Bio::PrimerDesigner->new( program => 'primer3 );  
  my $result = $primer3_obj->design( %hash_of_options );
  my $left_primer = $result->left;  
  my @left_primers = $result->left(1..$num_primers);  
 
  #
  # e-PCR -- first make a hash of options from primer3 results
  # then run e-PCR
  #
  my $epcr_obj = Bio::PrimerDesigner->new( program => 'primer3 );
  my $epcr_result = $epcr_obj->design( %hash_of_options );
  my $num_products = $epcr_result->products; 
 
  #
  # one product
  #
  my $first_prod_size = $epcr_result->size;
  my $first_prod_start = $epcr_result->start;
  my $first_prod_stop = $epcr_result->start;  
 
  #
  # more than one product
  #
  my @pcr_product_sizes = ();
  for (1..$num_products) {
      push @pcr_product_sizes, $epcr_result->size;   
  }

DESCRIPTION

 Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result will autogenerate result access methods
 for for Native Boulder IO keys and Bio::PrimerDesigner keys for
 primer3, e-PCR, isPcr and ipcress.

METHODS

keys

 This handles result method calls made via the
 Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result object.  Returns either a scalar or list
 depending on the on the arguments:
  ------------------+------------------------
   Args passed      |  Returns
  ------------------+------------------------
   none                scalar value for set 1
   numeric n           scalar value for set n
   numeric list 1..n   list with n elements
 The aliased output methods (below) return a string when called in a 
 scalar context and a list when called in a list context.  The native 
 primer3 (Boulder IO) keys can also be used.  There are also e-PCR,
 isPcr and ipcress specific methods

Primer3 keys

  • left -- left primer sequence
  • right -- right primer sequence
  • hyb_oligo -- internal oligo sequence
  • startleft -- left primer 5' sequence coordinate
  • startright -- right primer 5' sequence coordinate
  • tmleft -- left primer tm
  • tmright -- right primer tm
  • qual -- primer pair penalty (Q value)
  • lqual -- left primer penalty
  • rqual -- right primer penalty
  • leftgc -- left primer % gc
  • rightgc -- right primer % gc
  • lselfany -- left primer self-complementarity (any)
  • lselfend -- left primer self-complementarity (end)
  • rselfany -- right primer self-complementarity (any)
  • rselfend -- right primer self-complementarity (end)
  • pairanycomp -- primer pair complementarity (any)
  • pairendcomp -- primer pair complementarity (end)
  • lendstab -- left primer end stability
  • rendstab -- right primer end stability
  • amplicon -- amplified PCR product

Other keys

  • products -- number of PCR products
  • size -- product size
  • start -- product start coordinate
  • stop -- product stop coordinate
  • end -- synonymous with stop
  • strand -- strand of product relative to the ref. sequence (isPCR, ipcress)
  • amplicon -- returns the PCR product (isPCR only)
