Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Mitoprot(3)

NAME
Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Mitoprot - a wrapper around Mitoprot server

SYNOPSIS
  use Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Mitoprot;

  use Bio::PrimarySeq;
  my $seq = Bio::PrimarySeq->new
    (-seq=>'IKLCVHHJHJHJHJHJHJHNLAILAKAHLIELALAL',
     -primary_id=>'test'); # a Bio::PrimarySeqI object

  my $mitoprot = Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Mitoprot->new
     ( -seq => $seq
     ); # sequence must be  >!5aa long and start with an M.

  # run Mitoprot prediction on a DNA sequence
  my $mitoprot->run();

  die "Could not get a result" unless $mitoprot->status =~ /^COMPLETED/;

  print $mitoprot->result;     # print raw prediction to STDOUT

  foreach my $feat ( $mitoprot->result('Bio::SeqFeatureI') ) {

      # do something to SeqFeature
      # e.g. print as GFF
      print $feat->gff_string, "\n";
      # or store within the sequence - if it is a Bio::RichSeqI
      $seq->add_SeqFeature($feat);

 }

DESCRIPTION
This class is a wrapper around the Mitoprot web server which calculates the probability of a sequence containing a mitochondrial targetting peptide. See http://mips.gsf.de/cgi-bin/proj/medgen/mitofilter for more details.

The results can be obtained in 3 formats:

1.  The raw text of the program output

      my $rawdata = $analysis_object->result;

2.  An reference to a hash of scores :

      my $data_ref = $analysis_object->result('parsed'); print "predicted
      export prob is $data_ref->{'export_prob'}\n"; #

    key values of returned hash are input_length, basic_aas, acidic_aas, export_prob, charge, cleavage_site.

3.  A Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object

      my $ft = $analysis_object->result(Bio::SeqFeatureI);
      print "export prob is ", ($ft->each_tag_value('export_prob'))[0]  ,"\n";

    This the second implentation of Bio::SimpleAnalysisI which hopefully will make it easier to write wrappers on various services. This class uses a web resource and therefore inherits from Bio::WebAgent.

  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.

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

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.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  result
 Usage   : $job->result (...)
 Returns : a result created by running an analysis
 Args    : various

The method returns a result of an executed job. If the job was terminated by an error the result may contain an error message instead of the real data.

This implementation returns differently processed data depending on argument:

undef
    Returns the raw ASCII data stream but without HTML tags

'Bio::SeqFeatureI'
    The argument string defines the type of bioperl objects returned in an array. The objects are Bio::SeqFeature::Generic. Feature primary tag is "SigSeq". Feature tags are input_length , basic_aas, acidic_aas, export_prob, charge, cleavage_site, method.

'parsed'
    hash references of parsed results { input_length =>, basic_aas=>, acidic_aas=>, export_prob=>, charge=>, cleavage_site=>}.
