It can be used to store a list of GI numbers, to translate an Entrez query expression into a list of GI numbers, or to count the number of terms that would be returned by a query. Once created, the query object can be passed to a Bio::DB::GenBank object in order to retrieve the entries corresponding to the query. =head1 FEEDBACK =head2 Mailing Lists User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists =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 AUTHOR - Lincoln Stein Email lstein@cshl.org =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::DB::Query::GenBank; use strict; use URI::Escape 'uri_unescape'; use constant EPOST => 'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/epost.fcgi'; use constant ESEARCH => 'http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/esearch.fcgi'; use constant DEFAULT_DB => 'protein'; use constant MAXENTRY => 100; use vars qw(@ATTRIBUTES); use base qw(Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery); BEGIN { @ATTRIBUTES = qw(db reldate mindate maxdate datetype maxids); for my $method (@ATTRIBUTES) { eval <{'_$method'}; \$self->{'_$method'} = shift if \@_; \$d; } END } } =head2 new Title : new Usage : $db = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(@args) Function: create new query object Returns : new query object Args : -db database (see below for allowable values) -query query string -mindate minimum date to retrieve from (YYYY/MM/DD) -maxdate maximum date to retrieve from (YYYY/MM/DD) -reldate relative date to retrieve from (days) -datetype date field to use ('edat' or 'mdat') -ids array ref of gids (overrides query) -maxids the maximum number of IDs you wish to collect (defaults to 100) This method creates a new query object. Typically you will specify a -db and a -query argument, possibly modified by -mindate, -maxdate, or -reldate. -mindate and -maxdate specify minimum and maximum dates for entries you are interested in retrieving, expressed in the form YYYY/MM/DD. -reldate is used to fetch entries that are more recent than the indicated number of days. If you provide an array reference of IDs in -ids, the query will be ignored and the list of IDs will be used when the query is passed to a Bio::DB::GenBank object's get_Stream_by_query() method. A variety of IDs are automatically recognized, including GI numbers, Accession numbers, Accession.version numbers and locus names. By default, the query will collect only the first 100 IDs and will generate an exception if you call the ids() method and the query returned more than that number. To increase this maximum, set -maxids to a number larger than the number of IDs you expect to obtain. This only affects the list of IDs you obtain when you call the ids() method, and does not affect in any way the number of entries you receive when you generate a SeqIO stream from the query. -db option values: The most commonly used databases are: protein nucleotide nuccore nucgss nucest unigene An up to date list of database names supported by NCBI eUtils is always available at: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/einfo.fcgi? However, note that not all of these databases return datatypes that are parsable by Bio::DB::GenBank =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_); my ($query,$db,$reldate,$mindate,$maxdate,$datetype,$ids,$maxids) = $self->_rearrange([qw(QUERY DB RELDATE MINDATE MAXDATE DATETYPE IDS MAXIDS)],@_); $self->db($db || DEFAULT_DB); $reldate && $self->reldate($reldate); $mindate && $self->mindate($mindate); $maxdate && $self->maxdate($maxdate); $maxids && $self->maxids($maxids); $datetype ||= 'mdat'; $datetype && $self->datetype($datetype); $self; } =head2 cookie Title : cookie Usage : ($cookie,$querynum) = $db->cookie Function: return the NCBI query cookie Returns : list of (cookie,querynum) Args : none NOTE: this information is used by Bio::DB::GenBank in conjunction with efetch. =cut sub cookie { my $self = shift; if (@_) { $self->{'_cookie'} = shift; $self->{'_querynum'} = shift; } else { $self->_run_query; @{$self}{qw(_cookie _querynum)}; } } =head2 _request_parameters Title : _request_parameters Usage : ($method,$base,@params = $db->_request_parameters Function: return information needed to construct the request Returns : list of method, url base and key=>value pairs Args : none =cut sub _request_parameters { my $self = shift; my ($method,$base); my @params = map {eval("\$self->$_") ?
