SYNOPSIS

Top

  # Open up a feature database
                 $db    = Bio::DB::Das::Chado->new(
                            -dsn  => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=gadfly;host=lajolla'
                            -user => 'jimbo',
                            -pass => 'supersecret',
                                       );

  @segments = $db->segment(-name  => '2L',
                           -start => 1,
			   -end   => 1000000);

  # segments are Bio::Das::SegmentI - compliant objects

  # fetch a list of features
  @features = $db->features(-type=>['type1','type2','type3']);

  # invoke a callback over features
  $db->features(-type=>['type1','type2','type3'],
                -callback => sub { ... }
		);

  # get all feature types
  @types   = $db->types;

  # count types
  %types   = $db->types(-enumerate=>1);

  @feature = $db->get_feature_by_name($class=>$name);
  @feature = $db->get_feature_by_target($target_name);
  @feature = $db->get_feature_by_attribute($att1=>$value1,$att2=>$value2);
  $feature = $db->get_feature_by_id($id);

  $error = $db->error;

DESCRIPTION

Top

Chado is the GMOD database schema, and chado is a specific instance of it. It is still somewhat of a moving target, so this package will probably require several updates over the coming months to keep it working.

APPENDIX

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

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $db    = Bio::DB::Das::Chado(
                            -dsn  => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=gadfly;host=lajolla'
			    -user => 'jimbo',
			    -pass => 'supersecret',
                                       );

 Function: Open up a Bio::DB::DasI interface to a Chado database
 Returns : a new Bio::DB::Das::Chado object
 Args    :

An optional argument is to provide -reference_class => (SO type name) to specify what the "base type" is. Typically, this would be chromosome or contig.

refclass

Usage
  $obj->refclass()        #get existing value
  $obj->refclass($newval) #set new value

Function
Returns

value of the reference class's cvterm_id (a scalar)

Arguments

new value of the reference class's cvterm_id (to set)

use_all_feature_names

  Title   : use_all_feature_names
  Usage   : $obj->use_all_feature_names()
  Function: set or return flag indicating that all_feature_names view is present
  Returns : 1 if all_feature_names present, 0 if not
  Args    : to return the flag, none; to set, 1




organism_id

  Title   : organism_id
  Usage   : $obj->organism_id()
  Function: set or return the organism_id
  Returns : the value of the id
  Args    : to return the flag, none; to set, the common name of the organism

If -organism is set when the Chado feature is instantiated, this method queries the database with the common name to cache the organism_id.

inferCDS

  Title   : inferCDS
  Usage   : $obj->inferCDS()
  Function: set or return the inferCDS flag
  Returns : the value of the inferCDS flag
  Args    : to return the flag, none; to set, 1

Often, chado databases will be populated without CDS features, since they can be inferred from a union of exons and polypeptide features. Setting this flag tells the adaptor to do the inferrence to get those derived CDS features (at some small performance penatly).

allow_obsolete

  Title   : allow_obsolete
  Usage   : $obj->allow_obsolete()
  Function: set or return the allow_obsolete flag
  Returns : the value of the allow_obsolete flag
  Args    : to return the flag, none; to set, 1

The chado feature table has a flag column called 'is_obsolete'. Normally, these features should be ignored by GBrowse, but the -allow_obsolete method is provided to allow displaying obsolete features.

sofa_id

  Title   : sofa_id 
  Usage   : $obj->sofa_id()
  Function: get or return the ID to use for SO terms
  Returns : the cv.cv_id for the SO ontology to use
  Args    : to return the id, none; to determine the id, 1

recursivMapping

  Title   : recursivMapping
  Usage   : $obj->recursivMapping($newval)
  Function: Flag for activating the recursive mapping (desactivated by default)
  Returns : value of recursivMapping (a scalar)
  Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

  Goal : When we have a clone mapped on a chromosome, the recursive mapping maps the features of the clone on the chromosome.

srcfeatureslice

  Title   : srcfeatureslice
  Usage   : $obj->srcfeatureslice
  Function: Flag for activating 
  Returns : value of srcfeatureslice
  Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)
  Desc    : Allows to use a featureslice of type featureloc_slice(srcfeat_id, int, int)
  Important : this and recursivMapping are mutually exclusives

do2Level

  Title   : do2Level
  Usage   : $obj->do2Level
  Function: Flag for activating the fetching of 2levels in segment->features
  Returns : value of do2Level
  Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

dbh

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




term2name

  Title   : term2name
  Usage   : $obj->term2name($newval)
  Function: When called with a hashref, sets cvterm.cvterm_id to cvterm.name 
            mapping hashref; when called with an int, returns the name
            corresponding to that cvterm_id; called with no arguments, returns
            the hashref.
  Returns : see above
  Args    : on set, a hashref; to retrieve a name, an int; to retrieve the
            hashref, none.

Note: should be replaced by Bio::GMOD::Util->term2name

name2term

  Title   : name2term
  Usage   : $obj->name2term($newval)
  Function: When called with a hashref, sets cvterm.name to cvterm.cvterm_id
            mapping hashref; when called with a string, returns the cvterm_id
            corresponding to that name; called with no arguments, returns
            the hashref.
  Returns : see above
  Args    : on set, a hashref; to retrieve a cvterm_id, a string; to retrieve
            the hashref, none.

Note: Should be replaced by Bio::GMOD::Util->name2term

segment

 Title   : segment
 Usage   : $db->segment(@args);
 Function: create a segment object
 Returns : segment object(s)
 Args    : see below

This method generates a Bio::Das::SegmentI object (see Bio::Das::SegmentI). The segment can be used to find overlapping features and the raw sequence.

When making the segment() call, you specify the ID of a sequence landmark (e.g. an accession number, a clone or contig), and a positional range relative to the landmark. If no range is specified, then the entire region spanned by the landmark is used to generate the segment.

Arguments are -option=>value pairs as follows:

 -name         ID of the landmark sequence.

 -class        A namespace qualifier.  It is not necessary for the
               database to honor namespace qualifiers, but if it
               does, this is where the qualifier is indicated.

 -version      Version number of the landmark.  It is not necessary for
               the database to honor versions, but if it does, this is
               where the version is indicated.

 -start        Start of the segment relative to landmark.  Positions
               follow standard 1-based sequence rules.  If not specified,
               defaults to the beginning of the landmark.

 -end          End of the segment relative to the landmark.  If not specified,
               defaults to the end of the landmark.

The return value is a list of Bio::Das::SegmentI objects. If the method is called in a scalar context and there are no more than one segments that satisfy the request, then it is allowed to return the segment. Otherwise, the method must throw a "multiple segment exception".

features

 Title   : features
 Usage   : $db->features(@args)
 Function: get all features, possibly filtered by type
 Returns : a list of Bio::SeqFeatureI objects
 Args    : see below
 Status  : public

This routine will retrieve features in the database regardless of position. It can be used to return all features, or a subset based on their type

Arguments are -option=>value pairs as follows:

  -type      List of feature types to return.  Argument is an array
             of Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI objects or a set of strings
             that can be converted into FeatureTypeI objects.

  -callback   A callback to invoke on each feature.  The subroutine
              will be passed each Bio::SeqFeatureI object in turn.

  -attributes A hash reference containing attributes to match.

The -attributes argument is a hashref containing one or more attributes to match against:

  -attributes => { Gene => 'abc-1',
                   Note => 'confirmed' }

Attribute matching is simple exact string matching, and multiple attributes are ANDed together.

If one provides a callback, it will be invoked on each feature in turn. If the callback returns a false value, iteration will be interrupted. When a callback is provided, the method returns undef.

types

 Title   : types
 Usage   : $db->types(@args)
 Function: return list of feature types in database
 Returns : a list of Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI objects
 Args    : see below

This routine returns a list of feature types known to the database. It is also possible to find out how many times each feature occurs.

Arguments are -option=>value pairs as follows:

  -enumerate  if true, count the features

The returned value will be a list of Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI objects (see Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI.

If -enumerate is true, then the function returns a hash (not a hash reference) in which the keys are the stringified versions of Bio::Das::FeatureTypeI and the values are the number of times each feature appears in the database.

NOTE: This currently raises a "not-implemented" exception, as the BioSQL API does not appear to provide this functionality.

get_feature_by_alias, get_features_by_alias

 Title   : get_features_by_alias
 Usage   : $db->get_feature_by_alias(@args)
 Function: return list of feature whose name or synonyms match
 Returns : a list of Bio::Das::Chado::Segment::Feature objects
 Args    : See below

This method finds features matching the criteria outlined by the supplied arguments. Wildcards (*) are allowed. Valid arguments are:

-name
-class
-ref (refrence sequence)
-start
-end

get_feature_by_name, get_features_by_name

 Title   : get_features_by_name
 Usage   : $db->get_features_by_name(@args)
 Function: return list of feature whose names match
 Returns : a list of Bio::Das::Chado::Segment::Feature objects
 Args    : See below

This method finds features matching the criteria outlined by the supplied arguments. Wildcards (*) are allowed. Valid arguments are:

-name
-class
-ref (refrence sequence)
-start
-end

_by_alias_by_name

 Title   : _by_alias_by_name
 Usage   : $db->_by_alias_by_name(@args)
 Function: return list of feature whose names match
 Returns : a list of Bio::Das::Chado::Segment::Feature objects
 Args    : See below

A private method that implements the get_features_by_name and get_features_by_alias methods. It accepts the same args as those methods, plus an addtional on (-operation) which is either 'by_alias' or 'by_name' to indicate what rule it is to use for finding features.

srcfeature2name

returns a srcfeature name given a srcfeature_id

gff_source_db_id

  Title   : gff_source_db_id
  Function: caches the chado db_id from the chado db table

gff_source_dbxref_id

Gets dbxref_id for features that have a gff source associated

dbxref2source

returns the source (string) when given a dbxref_id

source_dbxref_list

 Title   : source_dbxref_list
 Usage   : @all_dbxref_ids = $db->source_dbxref_list()

 Returns : a comma delimited string that is a list of dbxref_ids
 Args    : none
 Status  : public

This method queries the database for all dbxref_ids that are used to store GFF source terms.

search_notes

 Title   : search_notes
 Usage   : $db->search_notes($search_term,$max_results)
 Function: full-text search on features, ENSEMBL-style
 Returns : an array of [$name,$description,$score]
 Args    : see below
 Status  : public

This routine performs a full-text search on feature attributes (which attributes depend on implementation) and returns a list of [$name,$description,$score], where $name is the feature ID (accession?), $description is a human-readable description such as a locus line, and $score is the match strength.

** NOT YET ACTIVE: search_notes IS IN TESTING STAGE **

sub search_notes { my $self = shift; my ($search_string,$limit) = @_; my $limit_str; if (defined $limit) { $limit_str = " LIMIT $limit "; } else { $limit_str = ""; }

# so here's the plan: # if there is only 1 word, do 1-3 # 1. search for accessions like $string.'%'--if any are found, quit and return them # 2. search for feature.name like $string.'%'--if found, keep and continue # 3. search somewhere in analysis like $string.'%'--if found, keep and continue # if there is more than one word, don't search accessions # 4. search each word anded together like '%'.$string.'%' --if found, keep and continue # 5. search somewhere in analysis like '%'.$string.'%'

# $self->dbh->trace(1);

  my @search_str = split /\s+/, $search_string;
  my $qsearch_term = $self->dbh->quote($search_str[0]);
  my $like_str = "( (dbx.accession ~* $qsearch_term OR \n"
        ."           f.name        ~* $qsearch_term) ";
  for (my $i=1;$i<(scalar @search_str);$i++) {
    $qsearch_term = $self->dbh->quote($search_str[$i]);
    $like_str .= "and \n";
    $like_str .= "          (dbx.accession ~* $qsearch_term OR \n"
                ."           f.name        ~* $qsearch_term) ";
  } 
  $like_str .= ")";

  my $sth = $self->dbh->prepare("
     select dbx.accession,f.name,0 
     from feature f, dbxref dbx, feature_dbxref fd
     where
        f.feature_id = fd.feature_id and
        fd.dbxref_id = dbx.dbxref_id and 
        $like_str 
     $limit_str
    ");
  $sth->execute or throw ("couldn't execute keyword query");

  my @results;
  while (my ($acc, $name, $score) = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
    $score = sprintf("%.2f",$score);
    push @results, [$acc, $name, $score];
  }
  $sth->finish;
  return @results;
}

attributes

 Title   : attributes
 Usage   : @attributes = $db->attributes($id,$name)
 Function: get the "attributes" on a particular feature
 Returns : an array of string
 Args    : feature ID [, attribute name]
 Status  : public

This method is intended as a "work-alike" to Bio::DB::GFF's attributes method, which has the following returns:

Called in list context, it returns a list. If called in a scalar context, it returns the first value of the attribute if an attribute name is provided, otherwise it returns a hash reference in which the keys are attribute names and the values are anonymous arrays containing the values.

_segclass

 Title   : _segclass
 Usage   : $class = $db->_segclass
 Function: returns the perl class that we use for segment() calls
 Returns : a string containing the segment class
 Args    : none
 Status  : reserved for subclass use

chado_reference_class

  Title   : chado_reference_class 
  Usage   : $obj->chado_reference_class()
  Function: get or return the ID to use for Gbrowse map reference class 
            using cvtermprop table, value = MAP_REFERENCE_TYPE 
  Returns : the cvterm.name 
  Args    : to return the id, none; to determine the id, 1
  See also: default_class, refclass_feature_id

  Optionally test that user/config supplied ref class is indeed a proper
  chado feature type.

refclass_feature_id

 Title   : refclass_feature_id
 Usage   : $self->refclass_srcfeature_id()
 Function: Used to store the feature_id of the reference class feature we are working on (e.g. contig, supercontig)
           With this feature we can filter out all the request to be sure we are extracting a feature located on 
           the reference class feature.
 Returns : A scalar
 Args    : The feature_id on setting

LEFTOVERS FROM BIO::DB::GFF NEEDED FOR DAS

these methods should probably be declared in an interface class that Bio::DB::GFF implements. for instance, the aggregator methods could be described in Bio::SeqFeature::AggregatorI
