NAME

Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE - A parser for tRNAscan-SE output

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE;

my $parser = Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE->new(-file => 'result.tRNAscanSE');

# parse the results
while( my $gene = $parser->next_prediction ) {

    @exon_arr = $gene->get_seqFeatures();

}

DESCRIPTION

This script will parse tRNAscan-SE output. Just the tabular output of the tRNA locations in the genome for now.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE object 
Returns : an instance of Bio::Tools::tRNAscanSE
Args    : -fh/-file for input filename
          -genetag => primary tag used in gene features (default 'tRNA_gene')
          -exontag => primary tag used in exon features (default 'tRNA_exon')
          -srctag  => source tag used in all features (default 'tRNAscan-SE')

gene_tag

Title   : gene_tag
Usage   : $obj->gene_tag($newval)
Function: Get/Set the value used for the 'gene_tag' of genes
          Default is 'tRNA_gene' as set by the global $GeneTag
Returns : value of gene_tag (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

source_tag

Title   : source_tag
Usage   : $obj->source_tag($newval)
Function: Get/Set the value used for the 'source_tag' of exons and genes
          Default is 'tRNAscan-SE' as set by the global $SrcTag
Returns : value of source_tag (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

exon_tag

Title   : exon_tag
Usage   : $obj->exon_tag($newval)
Function: Get/Set the value used for the 'primary_tag' of exons
          Default is 'tRNA_exon' as set by the global $ExonTag
Returns : value of exon_tag (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

analysis_method

Usage     : $genscan->analysis_method();
Purpose   : Inherited method. Overridden to ensure that the name matches
            /tRNAscan-SE/i.
Returns   : String
Argument  : n/a

next_feature

Title   : next_feature
Usage   : while($gene = $genscan->next_feature()) {
                 # do something
          }
Function: Returns the next gene structure prediction of the Genscan result
          file. Call this method repeatedly until FALSE is returned.

          The returned object is actually a SeqFeatureI implementing object.
          This method is required for classes implementing the
          SeqAnalysisParserI interface, and is merely an alias for 
          next_prediction() at present.

Example :
Returns : A Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object.
Args    :
See also : L<Bio::SeqFeature::Generic>

next_prediction

Title   : next_prediction
Usage   : while($gene = $genscan->next_prediction()) {
                 # do something
          }
Function: Returns the next gene structure prediction of the Genscan result
          file. Call this method repeatedly until FALSE is returned.

Example :
Returns : A Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object.
Args    :
