Description
This module provides a wrapper interface for Ben Langmead and Col
Trapnell's ultrafast memory-efficient short read aligner bowtie
(see http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/ for manuals and downloads).

new()code    nextTop
 Title   : new
Usage : my $obj = new Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie object
Returns : an instance of Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie
Args :
run()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : run
Usage : $assembly = $bowtie_assembler->run($read1_fastq_file,
$index_location,
$read2_fastq_file);
$assembly = $bowtie_assembler->run(%params);
Function: Run the bowtie assembly pipeline.
Returns : Assembly results (file, IO object or Assembly object)
Args : - fastq file containing single-end reads
- name of the base of the bowtie index
- [optional] fastq file containing paired-end reads
Named params are also available with args:
-seq, -seq2, -ind (bowtie index), -ref (fasta reference) and -out
Note : gzipped inputs are allowed if IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
is available
The behaviour for locating indexes follows the definition in
the bowtie manual - you may use the environment variable
BOWTIE_INDEXES to specify the index path or use an 'indexes'
directory under the directory where the bowtie executable
is located
want()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : want
Usage : $bowtiefac->want( $class )
Function: make factory return $class, or raw (scalar) results in file
Returns : return wanted type
Args : [optional] string indicating class or raw of wanted result
result()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : result
Usage : $bowtiefac->result( [-want => $type|$format] )
Function: return result in wanted format
Returns : results
Args : [optional] hashref of wanted type
_determine_format()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : _determine_format
Usage : $bowtiefac->_determine_format
Function: determine the format of output for current options
Returns : format of bowtie output
Args :
_make_bam()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : _make_bam
Usage : $bowtiefac->_make_bam( $file, $sort )
Function: make a sorted BAM format file from SAM file
Returns : sorted BAM file name
Args : SAM file name and boolean flag to select sorted BAM format
_validate_file_input()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : _validate_file_input
Usage : $bowtiefac->_validate_file_input( -type => $file )
Function: validate file type for file spec
Returns : file type if valid type for file spec
Args : hash of filespec => file_name
_assembly_format()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : _assembly_format
Usage : $bowtiefac->_determine_format
Function: set the format of output for current options
Returns : format of bowtie output
Args :
_check_sequence_input()codeprevnextTop
 No-op.
_check_optional_quality_input()codeprevnextTop
 No-op.
_prepare_input_sequences()codeprevnextTop
 Prepare and check input sequences for bowtie.
set_parameters()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : set_parameters
Usage : $bowtiefac->set_parameters(%params);
Function: sets the parameters listed in the hash or array,
maintaining sane options.
Returns : true on success
Args : [optional] hash or array of parameter/values.
Note : This will unset conflicts and set required options,
but will not prevent non-sane requests in the arguments
version()codeprevnextTop
 Title   : version
Usage : $version = $bowtiefac->version()
Function: Returns the program version (if available)
Returns : string representing location and version of the program

General documentation
OPTIONSTop
bowtie is complex, with many command-line options. This module attempts to
provide and options comprehensively. You can browse the choices like so:
 $bowtiefac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new( -command => 'single' );
# all bowtie commands
@all_commands = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('commands');
@all_commands = $bowtiefac->available_commands; # alias
# just for single
@assemble_params = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('params');
@assemble_switches = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('switches');
@assemble_all_options = $bowtiefac->available_parameters();
Reasonably mnemonic names have been assigned to the single-letter
command line options. These are the names returned by
available_parameters, and can be used in the factory constructor
like typical BioPerl named parameters.
As a number of options are mutually exclusive, and the interpretation of
intent is based on last-pass option reaching bowtie with potentially unpredicted
results. This module will prevent inconsistent switches and parameters
from being passed.
See http://bowtie.sourceforge.net/bowtie-manpage.shtml for details of bowtie
options.
FILESTop
When a command requires filenames, these are provided to the run method, not
the constructor (new()). To see the set of files required by a command, use
available_parameters('filespec') or the alias filespec():
  $bowtiefac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new( -command => 'paired' );
@filespec = $bowtiefac->filespec;
This example returns the following array:
 ind
seq
seq2
#out
This indicates that ind (bowtie index file base name), seq (fasta/fastq),and seq2
(fasta/fastq) files MUST be specified, and that the out file MAY be specified. Use
these in the run call like so:
 $bowtiefac->run( -ind => 'index_base', -seq => 'seq-a.fq',
-seq2 => 'seq-b.fq', -out => 'align.out' );
Note that named parameters in this form allow you to specify the location of the outfile;
without named parameters, the outfile is located in a tempdir and does not persist beyond
the life of the object - with the exception of index creation.
The object will store the programs STDOUT and STDERR output for you in the stdout()
and stderr() attributes:
 handle_map_warning($bowtiefac) if ($bowtiefac->stderr =~ /warning/);
FEEDBACKTop
Mailing ListsTop
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.

SupportTop
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.
