Mailing Lists¶

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support¶

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

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

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.

Reporting Bugs¶

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

within_element¶

 Title   : within_element
 Usage   : if( $eventgenerator->within_element($element) ) {}
 Function: Test if we are within a particular element
           This is different than 'in' because within can be tested
           for a whole block.

 Args    : string element name

in_element¶

 Title   : in_element
 Usage   : if( $eventgenerator->in_element($element) ) {}
 Function: Test if we are in a particular element
           This is different than 'within' because 'in' only

result_count¶

 Title   : result_count
 Usage   : my $count = $searchio->result_count
 Function: Returns the number of results we have processed
 Returns : integer
 Args    : none

descriptor¶

 Title   : descriptor
 Usage   : my $descr = $parser->descriptor();
 Function: Get/Set descriptor name.  Some versions of RNAMotif do not add the
           descriptor name to the output.  This also overrides any name found
           while parsing.
 Returns : String (name of model)
 Args    : [optional] String (name of model)

model¶

 Title   : model
 Usage   : my $model = $parser->model();

           the model name (Rfam ID)
 Returns : String (name of model)
 Args    : [optional] String (name of model)
 Note    : this is a synonym for descriptor()

database¶

 Title   : database
 Usage   : my $database = $parser->database();
 Function: Get/Set database; Infernal currently does not output
           the database name
 Returns : String (database name)
 Args    : [optional] String (database name)

query_accession¶

 Title   : query_accession
 Usage   : my $acc = $parser->query_accession();
 Function: Get/Set query (model) accession; RNAMotif currently does not output
           the accession number
 Returns : String (accession)
 Args    : [optional] String (accession)

algorithm_version¶

 Title   : algorithm_version
 Usage   : my $ver = $parser->algorithm_version();
 Function: Get/Set algorithm version (not defined in RNAMotif output)
 Returns : String (accession)
 Args    : [optional] String (accession)

hsp_minscore¶

 Title   : hsp_minscore
 Usage   : my $cutoff = $parser->hsp_minscore();
 Function: Get/Set min score cutoff (for generating Hits/HSPs).
 Returns : score (number)
 Args    : [optional] score (number)
 Note    : Cannot be set along with hsp_maxscore()

hsp_maxscore¶

 Title   : hsp_maxscore
 Usage   : my $cutoff = $parser->hsp_maxscore();
 Function: Get/Set max score cutoff (for generating Hits/HSPs).
 Returns : score (number)
 Args    : [optional] score (number)
 Note    : Cannot be set along with hsp_minscore()

structure_symbols¶

 Title   : structure_symbols
 Usage   : my $hashref = $parser->structure_symbols();
 Function: Get/Set RNA structure symbols
 Returns : Hash ref of delimiters (5' stem, 3' stem, single-strand, etc)
         : default = < (5-prime)
                     > (3-prime)
                     . (single-strand)
                     ? (unknown) 
 Args    : Hash ref of substitute delimiters, using above keys.

_motif2meta¶

 Title   : _motif2meta
 Usage   : my ($rna, $meta) = $parser->_motif2meta($str, $descr);
 Function: Creates meta string from sequence and descriptor
 Returns : array of sequence, meta strings
 Args    : Array of string data and descriptor data
 Note: This is currently a quick and simple way of making simple
 RNA structures (stem-loops, helices, etc) from RNAMotif descriptor
 data in the output file.  It does not currently work with pseudoknots,
 triplets, G-quartets, or other more complex RNA structural motifs.
