NAME

Bio::ViennaNGS::Bed - Object-oriented interface for manipulation of genomic interval data in BED format

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::ViennaNGS::Bed;

my $bedobject = Bio::ViennaNGS::Bed->new();

# compute the length of a BED12 block
$bedobject->_build_length();

# dump an object as BED12 line
$bedobject->as_bed_line(12);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Moose interface for storage and manipulation of genomic interval data. It is primarily used as a convenience wrapper for BED data with more generic Bio::ViennaNGS classes for feature annotation, such as Bio::ViennaNGS::MinimalFeature, Bio::ViennaNGS::Feature, Bio::ViennaNGS::FeatureChain and Bio::ViennaNGS::FeatureLine.

METHODS

_build_length

Title : _build_length Usage : <$obj-_build_length();>> Function: Compute the length of a BED12 interval block / line, i.e. the sum over the lengths of all intervals that make up a BED12 entry. Args : Returns :

as_bed_line

Title : as_bed_line Usage : <$obj-as_bed_line($bedtype);>> Function: Dump the contents of the object as BED6 or BED12 line. Args : $bedtype can either be 6 or 12, determining BED6 or BED12 output. Returns : A (tab-separated) BED6 or BED12 line as string.
