NAME

Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO::masta - motif fasta format parser

SYNOPSIS

MASTA is a position frequency matrix format similar to fasta. It contains one ID row just like fasta and then the actual data, which is tab delimited:
   0.1   0.62    .017    0.11
   0.22  0.13    0.54    0.11
 
 

Or A,C,G and T could be horizontally positioned (positioning is automatically detected). Please note masta will parse only DNA at the moment.

It will also convert a set of aligned sequences: ACATGCAT ACAGGGAT ACAGGCAT ACCGGCAT

to a PFM (SiteMatrix object). When writing if you supply SEQ it will write 10 random instances, which represent correctly the frequency and can be used as an input for weblogo creation purposes.

See Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO for detailed documentation on how to use masta parser

DESCRIPTION

Parser for meme.

new

  Title   : new
  Usage   : my $psmIO =  Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO->new(-format=> 'masta',
                                                  -file  => $file, 
                                                  -mtype => 'PWM');
  Function: Associates a file with the appropriate parser
  Throws  :
  Example :
  Args    : hash
  Returns : "Bio::Matrix::PSM::$format"->new(@args);
 
 

write_psm

  Title   : write_psm
  Usage   : 
  Function: writes a pfm/pwm/raw sequence in a simple masta format
  Throws  :
  Example : 
  Args    : SiteMatrix object, type (optional string: PWM, SEQ or PFM)
  Returns :
 
 

next_matrix

   Title   : next_matrix
   Usage   : my $matrix = $psmio->next_matrix;
   Function: Alias of next_psm function
 
 

next_psm

  Title   : next_psm
  Usage   : my $matrix=$psmio->next_psm;
  Function: returns the next matrix in the stream
  Throws  : If there is you mix different types, for example weights and
            frequencies occur in the same entry You can mix weights, but these
            should be designated by different ID lines
  Example :
  Args    :
  Returns : Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix
