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

Package variables

Inherit

Bio::Map::Mappable

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.

General documentation

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.

  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

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.

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
