NAME
Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter - Tab-delimited data for Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI objects
SYNOPSIS
Example 1: Using the default columns
use Bio::SearchIO;
use Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter;
my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new();
my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new();
my $out = Bio::SearchIO->new( -writer => $writer );
while ( my $result = $in->next_result() ) {
$out->write_result($result, ($in->report_count - 1 ? 0 : 1) );
}
Example 2: Specifying a subset of columns
use Bio::SearchIO;
use Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter;
my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new();
my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new(
-columns => [qw(
query_name
query_length
hit_name
hit_length
rank
frac_identical_query
expect
)] );
my $out = Bio::SearchIO->new( -writer => $writer,
-file => ">searchio.out" );
while ( my $result = $in->next_result() ) {
$out->write_result($result, ($in->report_count - 1 ? 0 : 1) );
}
Custom Labels
You can also specify different column labels if you don't want to use the defaults. Do this by specifying a -labels
hash reference parameter when creating the HSPTableWriter object. The keys of the hash should be the column number (left-most column = 1) for the label(s) you want to specify. Here's an example:
my $writer = Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter->new(
-columns => [qw( query_name
query_length
hit_name
hit_length )],
-labels => { 1 => 'QUERY_GI',
3 => 'HIT_IDENTIFIER' } );
DESCRIPTION
Bio::SearchIO::Writer::HSPTableWriter generates output at the finest level of granularity for data within a search result. Data for each HSP within each hit in a search result is output in tab-delimited format, one row per HSP.
Available Columns
Here are the columns that can be specified in the -columns
parameter when creating a HSPTableWriter object. If a -columns
parameter is not specified, this list, in this order, will be used as the default.
query_name # Sequence identifier of the query.
query_length # Full length of the query sequence
hit_name # Sequence identifier of the hit
hit_length # Full length of the hit sequence
round # Round number for hit (PSI-BLAST)
rank
expect # Expect value for the alignment
score # Score for the alignment (e.g., BLAST score)
bits # Bit score for the alignment
frac_identical_query # fraction of identical substitutions in query
frac_identical_hit # fraction of identical substitutions in hit
frac_conserved_query # fraction of conserved substitutions in query
frac_conserved_hit # fraction of conserved substitutions in hit
length_aln_query # Length of the aligned portion of the query sequence
length_aln_hit # Length of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
gaps_query # Number of gaps in the aligned query sequence
gaps_hit # Number of gaps in the aligned hit sequence
gaps_total # Number of gaps in the aligned query and hit sequences
start_query # Starting coordinate of the aligned portion of the query sequence
end_query # Ending coordinate of the aligned portion of the query sequence
start_hit # Starting coordinate of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
end_hit # Ending coordinate of the aligned portion of the hit sequence
strand_query # Strand of the aligned query sequence
strand_hit # Strand of the aligned hit sequence
frame # Reading frame of the aligned query sequence
hit_description # Full description of the hit sequence
query_description # Full description of the query sequence
For more details about these columns, see the documentation for the corresponding method in Bio::Search::HSP::HSPI.
TODO
Figure out the best way to incorporate algorithm-specific score columns. The best route is probably to have algorith-specific subclasses (e.g., BlastHSPTableWriter, FastaHSPTableWriter).

METHODS
to_string()
Note: this method is not intended for direct use. The SearchIO::write_result() method calls it automatically if the writer is hooked up to a SearchIO object as illustrated in the SYNOPSIS section .
Title : to_string()
:
Usage : print $writer->to_string( $result_obj, [$include_labels] );
:
Argument : $result_obj = A Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
: $include_labels = boolean, if true column labels are included (default: false)
:
Returns : String containing tab-delimited set of data for each HSP
: in each Hit of the supplied ResultI object.
:
Throws : n/a
end_report
Title : end_report
Usage : $self->end_report()
Function: The method to call when ending a report, this is
mostly for cleanup for formats which require you to
have something at the end of the document. Nothing for
a text message.
Returns : string
Args : none
filter
Title : filter
Usage : $writer->filter('hsp', \&hsp_filter);
Function: Filter out either at HSP,Hit,or Result level
Returns : none
Args : string => data type,
