NAME Bio::WebService::LANL::SequenceLocator - Locate sequences within HIV using LANL's web tool SYNOPSIS use Bio::WebService::LANL::SequenceLocator; my $locator = Bio::WebService::LANL::SequenceLocator->new( agent_string => 'Your Organization - you@example.com', ); my @sequences = $locator->find([ "agcaatcagatggtcagccaaaattgccctatagtgcagaacatccaggggcaagtggtacatcaggccatatcacctagaactttaaatgca", ]); See "EXAMPLE RESULTS" below. DESCRIPTION This library provides simple programmatic access to LANL's HIV sequence locator web tool and is also used to power a simple, JSON-based web API for the same tool (via Bio::WebService::LANL::SequenceLocator::Server). Nearly all of the information output by LANL's sequence locator is parsed and provided by this library, though the results do vary slightly depending on the base type of the query sequence. Multiple query sequences can be located at the same time and results will be returned for all. Results are extracted from both tab-delimited files provided by LANL as well as the HTML itself. EXAMPLE RESULTS # Using @sequences from the SYNOPSIS above use JSON; print encode_json(\@sequences); __END__ [ { "query" : "sequence_1", "query_sequence" : "AGCAATCAGATGGTCAGCCAAAATTGCCCTATAGTGCAGAACATCCAGGGGCAAGTGGTACATCAGGCCATATCACCTAGAACTTTAAATGCA", "base_type" : "nucleotide", "reverse_complement" : "0", "alignment" : "\n Query AGCAATCAGA TGGTCAGCCA AAATTGCCCT ATAGTGCAGA ACATCCAGGG 50\n :::::::: ::::::::: ::::: :::: :::::::::: :::::::::: \n HXB2 AGCAATCA-- -GGTCAGCCA AAATTACCCT ATAGTGCAGA ACATCCAGGG 1208\n\n Query GCAAGTGGTA CATCAGGCCA TATCACCTAG AACTTTAAAT GCA 93\n :::: ::::: :::::::::: :::::::::: :::::::::: ::: \n HXB2 GCAAATGGTA CATCAGGCCA TATCACCTAG AACTTTAAAT GCA 1251\n\n ", "hxb2_sequence" : "AGCAATCA---GGTCAGCCAAAATTACCCTATAGTGCAGAACATCCAGGGGCAAATGGTACATCAGGCCATATCACCTAGAACTTTAAATGCA", "similarity_to_hxb2" : "94.6", "start" : "373" "end" : "462", "genome_start" : "1162", "genome_end" : "1251", "polyprotein" : "Gag", "region_names" : [ "Gag", "p17", "p24" ], "regions" : [ { "cds" : "Gag", "aa_from_protein_start" : [ "125", "154" ], "na_from_cds_start" : [ "373", "462" ], "na_from_hxb2_start" : [ "1162", "1251" ], "na_from_query_start" : [ "1", "93" ], "protein_translation" : "SNQMVSQNCPIVQNIQGQVVHQAISPRTLNA" }, { "cds" : "p17", "aa_from_protein_start" : [ "125", "132" ], "na_from_cds_start" : [ "373", "396" ], "na_from_hxb2_start" : [ "1162", "1185" ], "na_from_query_start" : [ "1", "27" ], "protein_translation" : "SNQMVSQNC" }, { "cds" : "p24", "aa_from_protein_start" : [ "1", "22" ], "na_from_cds_start" : [ "1", "66" ], "na_from_hxb2_start" : [ "1186", "1251" ], "na_from_query_start" : [ "28", "93" ], "protein_translation" : "PIVQNIQGQVVHQAISPRTLNA" } ], } ] METHODS new Returns a new instance of this class. An optional parameter "agent_string" should be provided to identify yourself to LANL out of politeness. See the "SYNOPSIS" for an example. find Takes an array ref of sequence strings. Sequences may be in amino acids or nucleotides and mixed freely. Sequences should not be in FASTA format. Returns a list of hashrefs when called in list context, otherwise returns an arrayref of hashrefs. See "EXAMPLE RESULTS" for the structure of the data returned.
