Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder(3)

NAME
Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder - a parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output

SYNOPSIS
    use Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder;

    # create parser
    my $parser = Bio::Tools::Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder->new(-file => 'tandem_repeats.out');

    # loop through results
    while( my $feature = $parser->next_result ) {

        # print the source sequence id, start, end, percent matches, and the consensus sequence
        my ($percent_matches)    = $feat->get_tag_values('percent_matches');
        my ($consensus_sequence) = $feat->get_tag_values('consensus_sequence');
        print $feat->seq_id()."\t".$feat->start()."\t".$feat->end()."\t$percent_matches\t$consensus_sequence\n";

    }

DESCRIPTION
A parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output. Written and tested for version 4.00

Location, seq_id, and score are stored in Bio::SeqFeature::Generic feature. All other data is stored in tags. The availabale tags are

        period_size
        copy_number
        consensus_size
        percent_matches
        percent_indels
        percent_a
        percent_c
        percent_g
        percent_t
        entropy
        consensus_sequence
        repeat_sequence
        run_parameters
        sequence_description

The run_parameters are stored in a hashref with the following key:

        match_weight
        mismatch_weight
        indel_weight
        match_prob
        indel_prob
        min_score
        max_period_size
