NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd - class for EMBOSS Application qualifiers

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') || die "Program not found!\n";
  # Here is an example of running the application - water can
  # compare 1 sequence against 1 or more sequences using Smith-Waterman.
  # Pass a Sequence object and a reference to an array of objects.
  my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
  $water->run({-asequence => $seq_object,
               -bsequence => \@seq_objects,
               -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 EMBOSSacd represents all the possible command line arguments that can be given to an EMBOSS application.

Do not create this object directly. It will be created and attached to its corresponding Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication if you set

  $application->verbose > 0

Call

  $application->acd

to retrive the Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication::EMBOSSacd object.

See also Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication and Bio::Factory::EMBOSS.
