NAME

Bio::Factory::EMBOSS - EMBOSS application factory class

SYNOPSIS

   # get an EMBOSS factory
   use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
   $f = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS -> new();
   # get an EMBOSS application  object from the factory
   $water = $f->program('water');
 
   # here is an example of running the application -
   # water can compare 1 sequence against 1 or more sequences
   # in a database using Smith-Waterman
   my $seq_to_test; # this would have a seq here
   my @seqs_to_check; # this would be a list of seqs to compare 
                        # (could be just 1)
   my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
   $water->run({-sequences => $seq_to_test,
                -seqall    => \@seqs_to_check,
                -gapopen   => '10.0',
                -gapextend => '0.5',
                -outfile   => $wateroutfile});
   # now you might want to get the alignment
   use Bio::AlignIO;
   my $alnin = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
                                        -file   => $wateroutfile);
 
   while ( my $aln = $alnin->next_aln ) {
       # process the alignment -- these will be Bio::SimpleAlign objects
   }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The EMBOSS factory class encapsulates access to EMBOSS programs. A factory object allows creation of only known applications.

If you want to check command line options before sending them to the program set $prog->verbose to positive integer. The value is passed on to programs objects and the ADC description of the available command line options is parsed and compared to input.

See also Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication and Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd.
