NAME

Bio::Map::Prediction - An object representing the predictions of something that can have multiple locations in several maps.

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Map::Prediction;
  use Bio::Map::Position;

  # normally you would get predictions from a run wrapper like
  # Bio::Tools::Run::Meme, but here we create some manually:
  my $pred1 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'meme');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
						  -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
						  -start => 950,
						  -end => 960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1950,
                          -end => 1960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 955,
                          -end => 965);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
	      				                                 -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1955,
                          -end => 1965);

  my $pred2 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'gerp');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction2,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
						                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 950,
                          -end => 960);
  # etc.

  # find the places where predictions agree
  use Bio::Map::GeneRelative;
  my $rel = Bio::Map::GeneRelative->new(-gene => 0);
  my $di = Bio::Map::Mappable->disconnected_intersections([$pred1, $pred2],
                                                -min_mappables_percent => 100,
                                                -min_map_percent => 100,
                                                -relative => $rel);
  my @positions = $di->get_positions;

DESCRIPTION

For example, used to model transcription factor binding site predictions, which can have multiple locations in several maps.

FEEDBACK

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.

 Returns : Bio::Map::Prediction
 Args    : -name   => string : name of the mappable element
           -id     => string : id of the mappable element
           -source => string : name of the prediction program

source

 Title   : name
 Usage   : $mappable->name($new_name);
	       my $name = $mappable->name();
