NAME

Bio::SearchIO::gmap_f9 - Event generator for parsing gmap reports (Z format)

SYNOPSIS

# Do not use this object directly - it is used as part of the
# Bio::SearchIO system.

 use Bio::SearchIO;
 my $searchio = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'gmap',
                                   -file   => 't/data/her2.gmapz');
 while( my $result = $searchio->next_result ) {
     while( my $hit = $result->next_hit ) {
         while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp ) {
             # ...
         }
     }
 }

DESCRIPTION

This object encapsulated the necessary methods for generating events suitable for building Bio::Search objects from a GMAP "compressed" report (from gmap run with -Z flag) Read the Bio::SearchIO for more information about how to use this.

REVERSE STRAND AND BIOPERL COORDINATES

I believe that I'm doing the correct thing when reporting hits on the negative strand of the genome. In particular, I've compared the "exons" this code generates with the set returned by ncbi's megablast web service. NCBI's hsp's are ordered differently and have a different genomic location (off by ~18,000,000 bases, padding?) but the starts, ends, and lengths were similar and my strand handling matches theirs. E.g.

  CDNA                            GENOME
start  end    strand   start           end             strand
