NAME

Bio::Tools::Grail - Results of one Grail run

SYNOPSIS

$grail = Bio::Tools::Grail->new(-file => 'result.grail');
# filehandle:
$grail = Bio::Tools::Grail->new( -fh  => \*INPUT );

# parse the results
while($gene = $grail->next_prediction()) {
    # $gene is an instance of Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene

    # $gene->exons() returns an array of 
    # Bio::Tools::Prediction::Exon objects
    # all exons:
    @exon_arr = $gene->exons();

    # initial exons only
    @init_exons = $gene->exons('Initial');
    # internal exons only
    @intrl_exons = $gene->exons('Internal');
    # terminal exons only
    @term_exons = $gene->exons('Terminal');
    # singleton exons only -- should be same as $gene->exons() because
    # there are no other exons supposed to exist in this structure
    @single_exons = $gene->exons('Single');
}

# essential if you gave a filename at initialization (otherwise the file
# will stay open)
$genscan->close();

DESCRIPTION

The Grail module provides a parser for Grail gene structure prediction output.

APPENDIX

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

next_prediction

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

Example :
Returns : A Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene object.
Args    :

_parse_predictions

Title   : _parse_predictions()
Usage   : $obj->_parse_predictions()
Function: Parses the prediction section. Automatically called by
          next_prediction() if not yet done.
Example :
Returns :

_prediction

Title   : _prediction()
Usage   : $gene = $obj->_prediction()
Function: internal
Example :
Returns :

_add_prediction

Title   : _add_prediction()
Usage   : $obj->_add_prediction($gene)
Function: internal
Example :
Returns :

_predictions_parsed

Title   : _predictions_parsed
Usage   : $obj->_predictions_parsed
Function: internal
Example :
Returns : TRUE or FALSE

_has_cds

Title   : _has_cds()
Usage   : $obj->_has_cds()
Function: Whether or not the result contains the predicted CDSs, too.
Example :
Returns : TRUE or FALSE
