NAME

Bio::SearchIO::megablast - a driver module for Bio::SearchIO to parse megablast reports (format 0)

SYNOPSIS

# do not use this module directly
   use Bio::SearchIO;
   # for default format output from megablast
   my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new(-file   => 'file.mbl',
                              -format => 'megablast',
                              -report_format => 0);
 
   while( my $r = $in->next_result ) {
     while( my $hit = $r->next_hit ) {
       while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp ) {
       }
     }
   }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Beware!

Because of the way megablast report format 0 is coded, realize that score means # gap characters + # mismatches for a HSP.

The docs from NCBI regarding FORMAT 0 # 0: Produce one-line output for each alignment, in the form # # 'subject-id'=='[+-]query-id' (s_off q_off s_end q_end) score # # Here subject(query)-id is a gi number, an accession or some other type of # identifier found in the FASTA definition line of the respective sequence. # # + or - corresponds to same or different strand alignment. # # Score for non-affine gapping parameters means the total number of # differences (mismatches + gap characters). For affine case it is the # actual (raw) score of the alignment.

FORMAT 1 parsing has not been implemented FORMAT 2 parsing should work with the SearchIO 'blast' parser

APPENDIX

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

new

  Title   : new
  Usage   : my $obj = Bio::SearchIO::blast->new();
  Function: Builds a new Bio::SearchIO::blast object
  Returns : Bio::SearchIO::blast
  Args    : -fh/-file => filehandle/filename to BLAST file
            -format   => 'blast'
 
 

next_result

  Title   : next_result
  Usage   : my $hit = $searchio->next_result;
  Function: Returns the next Result from a search
  Returns : Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
  Args    : none
 
 

report_format

  Title   : report_format
  Usage   : $obj->report_format($newval)
  Function: Get/Set the report_format value
  Returns : value of report_format (a scalar)
  Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
 
 

start_element

  Title   : start_element
  Usage   : $eventgenerator->start_element
  Function: Handles a start element event
  Returns : none
  Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'
 
 

end_element

  Title   : start_element
  Usage   : $eventgenerator->end_element
  Function: Handles an end element event
  Returns : none
  Args    : hashref with at least 2 keys 'Data' and 'Name'
 
 

element

  Title   : element
  Usage   : $eventhandler->element({'Name' => $name, 'Data' => $str});
  Function: Convience method that calls start_element, characters, end_element
  Returns : none
  Args    : Hash ref with the keys 'Name' and 'Data'
 
 

characters

  Title   : characters
  Usage   : $eventgenerator->characters($str)
  Function: Send a character events

  Title   : _mode
  Usage   : $obj->_mode($newval)
  Function:
  Example :
  Returns : value of _mode
  Args    : newvalue (optional)
 
 

within_element

  Title   : within_element
  Usage   : if( $eventgenerator->within_element($element) ) {}
