=head1 NAME

SiRNA - Perl object for designing small inhibitory RNAs.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::SiRNA;

  my $sirna_designer = Bio::Tools::SiRNA->new( -target => $bio_seq,
                                               -rules  => 'saigo'
    );
  my @pairs = $sirna_designer->design;

  foreach $pair (@pairs) {
      my $sense_oligo_sequence = $pair->sense->seq;
      my $antisense_oligo_sequence = $pair->antisense->seq;

      # print out results
      print join ("\t", $pair->start, $pair->end, $pair->rank,
                  $sense_oligo_sequence, $antisense_oligo_sequence), "\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Package for designing siRNA reagents.

Input is a L<Bio::SeqI>-compliant object (the target).

Output is a list of Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Pair objects, which are
added to the feature table of the target sequence.  Each
Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Pair contains two subfeatures
(Bio::SeqFeature::Oligo objects) which correspond to the individual
oligos.  These objects provide accessors for the information on the
individual reagent pairs.

This verion of Bio::Tools::SiRNA represents a major change in architecture.
Specific 'rulesets' for siRNA selection as developed by various groups are
implemented as Bio::Tools::SiRNA::Ruleset objects, which inherit from
Bio::Tools::SiRNA.  This will make it easier to add new rule sets or modify
existing approaches. Currently the Tuschl and Ui-Tei (2004) rules are 
implemented. For consistency, the Tuschl rules are implemented by default.

In addition, this module provides three 'extra' rules which can be added
above and beyond any ruleset.

=over 3

=item 1.

SiRNAs that overlap known SNPs (identified as SeqFeatures with 
primary tag = variation) can be avoided.

=item 2.

Other regions (with primary tag = 'Excluded') can also be skipped.  I
use this with Bio::Tools::Run::Mdust to avoid low-complexity regions
(must be run separately), but other programs could also be used.

=item 3.

SiRNAs may also be selected in the 3 prime UTR of a gene by setting
$sirna_designer-E<gt>include_3pr() to true.

=back

=head2 EXPORT

None.

=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
the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

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
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
the web:

 Usage		: my $sirna_designer = Bio::Tools::SiRNA->new();
 Function	: Constructor for designer object

                  start_pad - distance from the CDS start to skip (default 75)
                  end_pad - distance from the CDS end to skip (default 50)
                  include_3pr - set to true to include SiRNAs in the 3prime UTR (default false)
                  rules - rules for selecting siRNAs, currently supporting saigo and tuschl
                  min_gc - minimum GC fraction (NOT percent) (default 0.4)
