For certain combinations of SeqFeature classes and SeqFeature::Store databases it features a "fast load" mode which will greatly accelerate the loading of GFF2 databases by a factor of 5-10. The GFF2 file format has been extended very slightly to accomodate Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store. First, the loader recognizes is a new directive: # #index-subfeatures [0|1] Note that you can place a space between the two #'s in order to prevent GFF2 validators from complaining. If this is true, then subfeatures are indexed (the default) so that they can be retrieved with a query. See L for an explanation of this. If false, then subfeatures can only be accessed through their parent feature. The default is to index all subfeatures. Second, the loader recognizes a new attribute tag called index, which if present, controls indexing of the current feature. Example: ctg123 . TF_binding_site 1000 1012 . + . ID=tfbs00001;index=1 You can use this to turn indexing on and off, overriding the default for a particular feature. =cut # load utility - incrementally load the store based on GFF2 file # # two modes: # slow mode -- features can occur in any order in the GFF2 file # fast mode -- all features with same ID must be contiguous in GFF2 file use strict; use Carp 'croak'; use Bio::DB::GFF::Util::Rearrange; use Text::ParseWords 'quotewords'; use base 'Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::GFF3Loader'; my %Special_attributes =( Gap => 1, Target => 1, Parent => 1, Name => 1, Alias => 1, ID => 1, index => 1, Index => 1, ); =head2 new Title : new Usage : $loader = Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::GFF2Loader->new(@options) Function: create a new parser Returns : a Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store::GFF2Loader gff2 parser and loader Args : several - see below Status : public This method creates a new GFF2 loader and establishes its connection with a Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store database. Arguments are -name=E$value pairs as described in this table: Name Value ---- ----- -store A writeable Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store database handle. -seqfeature_class The name of the type of Bio::SeqFeatureI object to create and store in the database (Bio::DB::SeqFeature by default) -sf_class A shorter alias for -seqfeature_class -verbose Send progress information to standard error. -fast If true, activate fast loading (see below) -chunk_size Set the storage chunk size for nucleotide/protein sequences (default 2000 bytes) -tmp Indicate a temporary directory to use when loading non-normalized features. When you call new(), a connection to a Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store database should already have been established and the database initialized (if appropriate). Some combinations of Bio::SeqFeatures and Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store databases support a fast loading mode. Currently the only reliable implementation of fast loading is the combination of DBI::mysql with Bio::DB::SeqFeature. The other important restriction on fast loading is the requirement that a feature that contains subfeatures must occur in the GFF2 file before any of its subfeatures. Otherwise the subfeatures that occurred before the parent feature will not be attached to the parent correctly. This restriction does not apply to normal (slow) loading. If you use an unnormalized feature class, such as Bio::SeqFeature::Generic, then the loader needs to create a temporary database in which to cache features until all their parts and subparts have been seen. This temporary databases uses the "berkeleydb" adaptor. The -tmp option specifies the directory in which that database will be created. If not present, it defaults to the system default tmp directory specified by File::Spec-Etmpdir(). The -chunk_size option allows you to tune the representation of DNA/Protein sequence in the Store database. By default, sequences are split into 2000 base/residue chunks and then reassembled as needed. This avoids the problem of pulling a whole chromosome into memory in order to fetch a short subsequence from somewhere in the middle. Depending on your usage patterns, you may wish to tune this parameter using a chunk size that is larger or smaller than the default. =cut # sub new { } inherited =head2 load Title : load Usage : $count = $loader->load(@ARGV) Function: load the indicated files or filehandles Returns : number of feature lines loaded Args : list of files or filehandles Status : public Once the loader is created, invoke its load() method with a list of GFF2 or FASTA file paths or previously-opened filehandles in order to load them into the database. Compressed files ending with .gz, .Z and .bz2 are automatically recognized and uncompressed on the fly. Paths beginning with http: or ftp: are treated as URLs and opened using the LWP GET program (which must be on your path). FASTA files are recognized by their initial "E" character. Do not feed the loader a file that is neither GFF2 nor FASTA; I don't know what will happen, but it will probably not be what you expect. =cut # sub load { } inherited =head2 accessors The following read-only accessors return values passed or created during new(): store() the long-term Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store object tmp_store() the temporary Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store object used during loading sfclass() the Bio::SeqFeatureI class fast() whether fast loading is active seq_chunk_size() the sequence chunk size verbose() verbose progress messages =cut # sub store inherited # sub tmp_store inherited # sub sfclass inherited # sub fast inherited # sub seq_chunk_size inherited # sub verbose inherited =head2 Internal Methods The following methods are used internally and may be overidden by subclasses. =over 4 =item default_seqfeature_class $class = $loader->default_seqfeature_class Return the default SeqFeatureI class (Bio::DB::SeqFeature). =cut # sub default_seqfeature_class { } inherited =item subfeatures_normalized $flag = $loader->subfeatures_normalized([$new_flag]) Get or set a flag that indicates that the subfeatures are normalized. This is deduced from the SeqFeature class information. =cut # sub subfeatures_normalized { } inherited =item subfeatures_in_table $flag = $loader->subfeatures_in_table([$new_flag]) Get or set a flag that indicates that feature/subfeature relationships are stored in a table. This is deduced from the SeqFeature class and Store information. =cut # sub subfeatures_in_table { } inherited =item load_fh $count = $loader->load_fh($filehandle) Load the GFF2 data at the other end of the filehandle and return true if successful. Internally, load_fh() invokes: start_load(); do_load($filehandle); finish_load(); =cut # sub load_fh { } inherited =item start_load, finish_load These methods are called at the start and end of a filehandle load. =cut # sub create_load_data { } #inherited # sub finish_load { } #inherite =item do_load $count = $loader->do_load($fh) This is called by load_fh() to load the GFF2 file's filehandle and return the number of lines loaded. =cut # sub do_load { } inherited =item load_line $loader->load_line($data); Load a line of a GFF2 file. You must bracket this with calls to start_load() and finish_load()! $loader->start_load(); $loader->load_line($_) while ; $loader->finish_load(); =cut # sub load_line { } # inherited =item handle_meta $loader->handle_meta($meta_directive) This method is called to handle meta-directives such as ##sequence-region. The method will receive the directive with the initial ## stripped off. =cut # sub handle_meta {} # inherited =item handle_feature $loader->handle_feature($gff2_line) This method is called to process a single GFF2 line. It manipulates information stored a data structure called $self-E{load_data}. =cut # sub handle_feature { } # inherited =item store_current_feature $loader->store_current_feature() This method is called to store the currently active feature in the database. It uses a data structure stored in $self-E{load_data}. =cut # sub store_current_feature { } inherited =item build_object_tree $loader->build_object_tree() This method gathers together features and subfeatures and builds the graph that connects them. =cut # sub build_object_tree { } # inherited =item build_object_tree_in_tables $loader->build_object_tree_in_tables() This method gathers together features and subfeatures and builds the graph that connects them, assuming that parent/child relationships will be stored in a database table. =cut # sub build_object_tree_in_tables { } # inherited =item build_object_tree_in_features $loader->build_object_tree_in_features() This method gathers together features and subfeatures and builds the graph that connects them, assuming that parent/child relationships are stored in the seqfeature objects themselves. =cut # sub build_object_tree_in_features { } # inherited =item attach_children $loader->attach_children($store,$load_data,$load_id,$feature) This recursively adds children to features and their subfeatures. It is called when subfeatures are directly contained within other features, rather than stored in a relational table. =cut # sub attach_children { } # inherited =item fetch my $feature = $loader->fetch($load_id) Given a load ID (from the ID= attribute) this method returns the feature from the temporary database or the permanent one, depending on where it is stored. =cut # sub fetch { } # inherited =item add_segment $loader->add_segment($parent,$child) This method is used to add a split location to the parent. =cut # sub add_segment { } # inherited =item parse_attributes ($reserved,$unreserved) = $loader->parse_attributes($attribute_line) This method parses the information contained in the $attribute_line into two hashrefs, one containing the values of reserved attribute tags (e.g. ID) and the other containing the values of unreserved ones. =cut sub parse_attributes { # overridden my $self = shift; my $att = shift; my @groups = quotewords('\s*;\s*',0,$att); my (%reserved,%unreserved); my $found_name; for (@groups) { my ($tag,$value); if (/^(\S+)\s+(.+)/) { # Tag value pair ($tag,$value) = ($1,$2); } else { $tag = 'Note'; $value = $_; } if ($tag eq 'Target') { my ($target,$start,$end) = split /\s+/,$value; push @{$reserved{ID}},$target; $found_name++; if ($start <= $end) { $value .= ' +' } else { $value .= ' -' } } if (!$found_name++) { push @{$reserved{Alias}},$value; $value = "$tag:$value"; push @{$reserved{ID}},$value; $tag = 'Name'; } if ($Special_attributes{$tag}) { # reserved attribute push @{$reserved{$tag}},$value; } else { push @{$unreserved{$tag}},$value; } } return (\%reserved,\%unreserved); } =item start_or_finish_sequence $loader->start_or_finish_sequence('Chr9') This method is called at the beginning and end of a fasta section. =cut # sub start_or_finish_sequence { } inherited =item load_sequence $loader->load_sequence('gatttcccaaa') This method is called to load some amount of sequence after start_or_finish_sequence() is first called. =cut # sub load_sequence { } inherited =item open_fh my $io_file = $loader->open_fh($filehandle_or_path) This method opens up the indicated file or pipe, using some intelligence to recognized compressed files and URLs and doing the right thing. =cut # sub open_fh { } inherited # sub msg { } inherited =item time my $time = $loader->time This method returns the current time in seconds, using Time::HiRes if available. =cut # sub time { } inherited =item unescape my $unescaped = GFF2Loader::unescape($escaped) This is an internal utility. It is the same as CGI::Util::unescape, but doesn't change pluses into spaces and ignores unicode escapes. =cut # sub unescape { } inherited 1; __END__ =back =head1 BUGS This is an early version, so there are certainly some bugs.
