Use it via the Bio::AlignIO class. use Bio::AlignIO; # read in an alignment from meme my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'meme', -file => 'meme.out'); while( my $aln = $in->next_aln ) { # do something with the alignment } =head1 DESCRIPTION This object transforms the "sites sorted by position p-value" sections of a meme (text) output file into a series of Bio::SimpleAlign objects. Each SimpleAlign object contains Bio::LocatableSeq objects which represent the individual aligned sites as defined by the central portion of the "site" field in the meme file. The start and end coordinates are derived from the "Start" field. See L and L for more information. This module can only parse MEME version 3.0 and greater. Previous versions have output formats that are more difficult to parse correctly. If the meme output file is not version 3.0 or greater, we signal an error. =head1 FEEDBACK =head2 Support Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list: I rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible. =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web: http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/ =head1 AUTHORS - Benjamin Berman Bbased on the Bio::SeqIO modules by Ewan Birney and others Email: benb@fruitfly.berkeley.edu =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with an underscore. =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::AlignIO::meme; use strict; use Bio::LocatableSeq; use base qw(Bio::AlignIO); # Constants my $MEME_VERS_ERR = "MEME output file must be generated by version 3.0 or higher"; my $MEME_NO_HEADER_ERR = "MEME output file contains no header line (ex: MEME version 3.0)"; my $HTML_VERS_ERR = "MEME output file must be generated with the -text option"; =head2 next_aln Title : next_aln Usage : $aln = $stream->next_aln() Function: returns the next alignment in the stream Returns : Bio::SimpleAlign object with the score() set to the evalue of the motif.
