NAME

Bio::LiveSeq::Mutator - Package mutating LiveSequences

SYNOPSIS

# $gene is a Bio::LiveSeq::Gene object
my $mutate = Bio::LiveSeq::Mutator->new('-gene' => $gene,
					  '-numbering' => "coding"
					   );
# $mut is a Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation object
$mutate->add_Mutation($mut);
# $results is a Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object
my $results=$mutate->change_gene();
if ($results) {
    my $out = Bio::Variation::IO->new( '-format' => 'flat');
    $out->write($results);
}

DESCRIPTION

This class mutates Bio::LiveSeq::Gene objects and returns a Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object. Mutations are described as Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation objects. See Bio::LiveSeq::Gene, Bio::Variation::SeqDiff, and Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation for details.

change_gene_with_alignment

Title   : change_gene_with_alignment
Usage   : $results=$mutate->change_gene_with_alignment($aln);

Function:

          Returns a Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object containing the
          results of the changes in the alignment. The alignment has
          to be pairwise and have one sequence named 'QUERY', the
          other one is assumed to be a part of the sequence from
          $gene.

          This method offers a shortcut to change_gene and
          automates the creation of Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation objects.
          Use it with almost identical sequnces, e.g. to locate a SNP.

Args    : Bio::SimpleAlign object representing a short local alignment
Returns : Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object or 0 on error

See Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation, Bio::SimpleAlign, and Bio::Variation::SeqDiff for more information.

create_mutation

Title   : create_mutation
Usage   : 
Function:

          Formats sequence differences from two sequences into
          Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation objects which can be applied to a
          gene.

          To keep it generic, sequence arguments need not to be
          Bio::LocatableSeq. Coordinate change to parent sequence
          numbering needs to be done by the calling code.

          Called from change_gene_with_alignment

Args    : Bio::PrimarySeqI inheriting object for the reference sequence
          Bio::PrimarySeqI inheriting object for the query sequence
          integer for the start position of the local sequence difference
          integer for the length of the sequence difference
Returns : Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation object

change_gene

 Title   : change_gene
 Usage   : my $mutate = Bio::LiveSeq::Mutator->new(-gene => $gene,
						   numbering => "coding"
						   );
           # $mut is Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation object
           $mutate->add_Mutation($mut);
           my $results=$mutate->change_gene();

 Function:

           Returns a Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object containing the
           results of the changes performed according to the
           instructions present in Mutation(s).  The -numbering
           argument decides what molecule is being changed and what
           numbering scheme being used:

            -numbering => "entry"

               determines the DNA level, using the numbering from the
               beginning of the sequence

            -numbering => "coding"

               determines the RNA level, using the numbering from the
               beginning of the 1st transcript

               Alternative transcripts can be used by specifying
               "coding 2" or "coding 3" ...

            -numbering => "gene"

               determines the DNA level, using the numbering from the
               beginning of the 1st transcript and inluding introns.
               The meaning equals 'coding' if the reference molecule
               is cDNA.

 Args    : Bio::LiveSeq::Gene object
           Bio::LiveSeq::Mutation object(s)
           string specifying a numbering scheme (defaults to 'coding')
 Returns : Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object or 0 on error

Example :
Returns : number of valid mutations
Args    : LiveSeq sequence object

_set_DNAMutation

Title   : _set_DNAMutation
Usage   :
Function:

          Stores DNA level mutation attributes before mutation into
          Bio::Variation::DNAMutation object.  Links it to SeqDiff
          object.

Example :
Returns : Bio::Variation::DNAMutation object
Args    : Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object

See Bio::Variation::DNAMutation and Bio::Variation::SeqDiff.

_set_effects

Title   : _set_effects
Usage   :
Function:

          Stores RNA and AA level mutation attributes before mutation
          into Bio::Variation::RNAChange and
          Bio::Variation::AAChange objects.  Links them to
          SeqDiff object.

Example :
Returns :
Args    : Bio::Variation::SeqDiff object
          Bio::Variation::DNAMutation object

See Bio::Variation::RNAChange, Bio::Variation::RNAChange, Bio::Variation::SeqDiff, and Bio::Variation::DNAMutation.

_untranslated

Title   : _untranslated
Usage   :
Function:

          Stores RNA change attributes before mutation
          into Bio::Variation::RNAChange object.  Links it to
