It is, to be honest, not well integrated with the rest of bioperl. For example, the trunc() function does not return a LocatableSeq object, as some might have thought. Also, the sequence is not a Bio::SeqI, so the location is simply inherited from Bio::RangeI and is not stored in a Bio::Location. There are all sorts of nasty gotcha's about interactions between coordinate systems when these sort of objects are used. Some mapping now occurs to deal with HSP data, however it can probably be integrated in better and most methods do not implement it correctly yet. Also, several PrimarySeqI methods (subseq(), trunc(), etc.) do not behave as expected and must be used with care. Due to this, LocatableSeq functionality is to be refactored in a future BioPerl release. However, for alignment functionality it works adequately for the time being =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 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::LocatableSeq; use strict; use Bio::Location::Simple; use Bio::Location::Fuzzy; use vars qw($GAP_SYMBOLS $OTHER_SYMBOLS $FRAMESHIFT_SYMBOLS $RESIDUE_SYMBOLS $MATCHPATTERN); # The following global variables contain symbols used to represent gaps, # frameshifts, residues, and other valid symbols.

'0' means before the original sequence starts. Returns : value of start Args : newvalue (optional) =cut sub start{ my $self = shift; if( @_ ) { my $value = shift; $self->{'start'} = $value; } return $self->{'start'} if defined $self->{'start'}; return 1 if $self->seq; return; } =head2 end Title : end Usage : $obj->end($newval) Function: Get/set the 1-based end position of this sequence in the original sequence. '0' means before the original sequence starts. Returns : value of end Args : newvalue (optional) Note : although this is a get/set, it checks passed values against the calculated end point ( derived from the sequence and based on $GAP_SYMBOLS and possible frameshifts() ). If there is no match, it will warn and set the proper value. Probably best used for debugging proper sequence calculations. =cut sub end { my $self = shift; if( @_ ) { my $value = shift; my $st = $self->start; # start of 0 usually means the sequence is all gaps but maps to # other sequences in an alignment if ($self->seq && $st != 0 ) { my $len = $self->_ungapped_len; my $calend = $st + $len - 1; my $id = $self->id || 'unknown'; if ($calend != $value) { $self->warn("In sequence $id residue count gives end value ".

(return $self->{'_force_nse'} = 1) : (return $self->{'_force_nse'} = 0); } return $self->{'_force_nse'}; } =head2 num_gaps Title : num_gaps Usage :$self->num_gaps('.') Function:Gets number of gaps in the sequence. The count excludes leading or trailing gap characters. Valid bioperl sequence characters are [A-Za-z\-\.\*]. Of these, '.' and '-' are counted as gap characters unless an optional argument specifies one of them. Returns : number of internal gaps in the sequence. Args : a gap character (optional) Status : Stable Note : replaces no_gaps =cut sub num_gaps { my ($self,$char) = @_; my ($seq, $count) = (undef, 0); # default gap characters $char ||= $GAP_SYMBOLS; $self->warn("I hope you know what you are doing setting gap to [$char]") unless $char =~ /[$GAP_SYMBOLS]/; $seq = $self->seq; return 0 unless $seq; # empty sequence does not have gaps $seq =~ s/^([$char]+)//; $seq =~ s/([$char]+)$//; while ( $seq =~ /[$char]+/g ) { $count++; } return $count; } =head2 column_from_residue_number Title : column_from_residue_number Usage : $col = $seq->column_from_residue_number($resnumber) Function: This function gives the position in the alignment (i.e. column number) of the given residue number in the sequence. For example, for the sequence Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.GH column_from_residue_number(94) returns 6. An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie outside the length of the aligment (e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 ) Returns : A column number for the position of the given residue in the given sequence (1 = first column) Args : A residue number in the whole sequence (not just that segment of it in the alignment) =cut sub column_from_residue_number { my ($self, $resnumber) = @_; $self->throw("Residue number has to be a positive integer, not [$resnumber]") unless $resnumber =~ /^\d+$/ and $resnumber > 0; if ($resnumber >= $self->start() and $resnumber <= $self->end()) { my @chunks; my $column_incr; my $current_column; my $current_residue = $self->start - 1; my $seq = $self->seq; my $strand = $self->strand || 0; if ($strand == -1) { # @chunks = reverse $seq =~ m/[^\.\-]+|[\.\-]+/go; @chunks = reverse $seq =~ m/[$RESIDUE_SYMBOLS]+|[$GAP_SYMBOLS]+/go; $column_incr = -1; $current_column = (CORE::length $seq) + 1; } else { # @chunks = $seq =~ m/[^\.\-]+|[\.\-]+/go; @chunks = $seq =~ m/[$RESIDUE_SYMBOLS]+|[$GAP_SYMBOLS]+/go; $column_incr = 1; $current_column = 0; } while (my $chunk = shift @chunks) { # if ($chunk =~ m|^[\.\-]|o) { if ($chunk =~ m|^[$GAP_SYMBOLS]|o) { $current_column += $column_incr * CORE::length($chunk); } else { if ($current_residue + CORE::length($chunk) < $resnumber) { $current_column += $column_incr * CORE::length($chunk); $current_residue += CORE::length($chunk); } else { if ($strand == -1) { $current_column -= $resnumber - $current_residue; } else { $current_column += $resnumber - $current_residue; } return $current_column; } } } } $self->throw("Could not find residue number $resnumber"); } =head2 location_from_column Title : location_from_column Usage : $loc = $ali->location_from_column($column_number) Function: This function gives the residue number for a given position in the alignment (i.e. column number) of the given. Gaps complicate this process and force the output to be a L where values can be undefined. For example, for the sequence: Seq/91-96 .AC..DEF.G. location_from_column( 3 ) position 92 location_from_column( 4 ) position 92^93 location_from_column( 9 ) position 95^96 location_from_column( 1 ) position undef An exact position returns a Bio::Location::Simple object where where location_type() returns 'EXACT', if a position is between bases location_type() returns 'IN-BETWEEN'. Column before the first residue returns undef. Note that if the position is after the last residue in the alignment, that there is no guarantee that the original sequence has residues after that position. An exception is thrown if the column number is not within the sequence. Returns : Bio::Location::Simple or undef Args : A column number Throws : If column is not within the sequence See L for more. =cut sub location_from_column { my ($self, $column) = @_; $self->throw("Column number has to be a positive integer, not [$column]") unless $column =~ /^\d+$/ and $column > 0; $self->throw("Column number [$column] is larger than". " sequence length [". $self->length. "]") unless $column <= $self->length; my ($loc); my $s = $self->subseq(1,$column); $s =~ s/[^a-zA-Z\*]//g; my $pos = CORE::length $s; my $start = $self->start || 0 ; my $strand = $self->strand() || 1; my $relative_pos = ($strand == -1) ? ($self->end - $pos + 1) : ($pos + $start - 1); if ($self->subseq($column, $column) =~ /[a-zA-Z\*]/ ) { $loc = Bio::Location::Simple->new (-start => $relative_pos, -end => $relative_pos, -strand => 1, ); } elsif ($pos == 0 and $self->start == 1) { } else { my ($start,$end) = ($relative_pos, $relative_pos + $strand); if ($strand == -1) { ($start,$end) = ($end,$start); } $loc = Bio::Location::Simple->new (-start => $start, -end => $end, -strand => 1, -location_type => 'IN-BETWEEN' ); } return $loc; } =head2 revcom Title : revcom Usage : $rev = $seq->revcom() Function: Produces a new Bio::LocatableSeq object which has the reversed complement of the sequence. For protein sequences this throws an exception of "Sequence is a protein. Cannot revcom" Returns : A new Bio::LocatableSeq object Args : none =cut sub revcom { my ($self) = @_; # since we don't know whether sequences without 1 => 1 correlation can be # revcom'd, kick back if (grep {$_ != 1} $self->mapping) { $self->warn('revcom() not supported for sequences with mapped values of > 1'); return; } my $new = $self->SUPER::revcom; $new->strand($self->strand * -1) if $self->strand; $new->start($self->start) if $self->start; $new->end($self->end) if $self->end; return $new; } =head2 trunc Title : trunc Usage : $subseq = $myseq->trunc(10,100); Function: Provides a truncation of a sequence, Example : Returns : a fresh Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object Args : Two integers denoting first and last columns of the sequence to be included into sub-sequence. =cut sub trunc { my ($self, $start, $end) = @_; my $new = $self->SUPER::trunc($start, $end); $new->strand($self->strand); # end will be automatically calculated $start = $end if $self->strand == -1; $start = $self->location_from_column($start); $start ? ($start = $start->end) : ($start = 1); $new->start($start) if $start; return $new; } =head2 validate_seq Title : validate_seq Usage : if(! $seq->validate_seq($seq_str) ) { print "sequence $seq_str is not valid for an object of alphabet ",$seq->alphabet, "\n"; } Function: Validates a given sequence string. A validating sequence string must be accepted by seq(). A string that does not validate will lead to an exception if passed to seq(). The implementation provided here does not take alphabet() into account. Allowed are all letters (A-Z), numbers [0-9] and common symbols used for gaps, stop codons, unknown residues, and frameshifts, including '-','.','*','?','=',and '~'. Example : Returns : 1 if the supplied sequence string is valid for the object, and 0 otherwise. Args : The sequence string to be validated. =cut sub validate_seq { my ($self,$seqstr) = @_; if( ! defined $seqstr ){ $seqstr = $self->seq(); } return 0 unless( defined $seqstr); if((CORE::length($seqstr) > 0) && ($seqstr !~ /^([$MATCHPATTERN]+)$/)) { $self->warn("seq doesn't validate with [$MATCHPATTERN], mismatch is " . join(",",($seqstr =~ /([^$MATCHPATTERN]+)/g))); return 0; } return 1; } ################## DEPRECATED METHODS ################## =head2 no_gap Title : no_gaps Usage : $self->no_gaps('.') Function : Gets number of gaps in the sequence. The count excludes leading or trailing gap characters. Valid bioperl sequence characters are [A-Za-z\-\.\*]. Of these, '.' and '-' are counted as gap characters unless an optional argument specifies one of them. Returns : number of internal gaps in the sequence. Args : a gap character (optional) Status : Deprecated (in favor of num_gaps()) =cut sub no_gaps { my $self = shift; $self->deprecated(-warn_version => 1.0069, -throw_version => 1.0075, -message => 'Use of method no_gaps() is deprecated, use num_gaps() instead'); $self->num_gaps(@_); } =head2 no_sequences Title : no_sequences Usage : $gaps = $seq->no_sequences Function : number of sequence in the sequence alignment Returns : integer Argument : Status : Deprecated (in favor of num_sequences()) =cut sub no_sequences { my $self = shift; $self->deprecated(-warn_version => 1.0069, -throw_version => 1.0075, -message => 'Use of method no_sequences() is deprecated, use num_sequences() instead'); $self->num_sequences(@_); } 1;
