12 # You may distribute this module under the same terms as perl itself
16 # May 7, 2002 - changed from UniGene.pm to more generic ClusterIO.pm
19 # April 17, 2002 - Initial implementation by Andrew Macgregor
20 # POD documentation - main docs before the code
24 Bio::ClusterIO - Handler for Cluster Formats
28 #NB: This example is unigene specific
32 $stream = Bio::ClusterIO->new('-file' => "Hs.data",
33 '-format' => "unigene");
34 # note: we quote -format to keep older perl's from complaining.
36 while ( my $in = $stream->next_cluster() ) {
37 print $in->unigene_id() . "\n";
38 while ( my $sequence = $in->next_seq() ) {
39 print $sequence->accession_number() . "\n";
42 # Parsing errors are printed to STDERR.
46 The ClusterIO module works with the ClusterIO format module to read
47 various cluster formats such as NCBI UniGene.
52 =head2 Bio::ClusterIO-E<gt>new()
54 $str = Bio::ClusterIO->new(-file => 'filename',
57 The new() class method constructs a new Bio::ClusterIO object. The
58 returned object can be used to retrieve or print cluster
59 objects. new() accepts the following parameters:
65 A file path to be opened for reading.
69 Specify the format of the file. Supported formats include:
71 unigene *.data UniGene build files.
72 dbsnp *.xml dbSNP XML files
74 If no format is specified and a filename is given, then the module
75 will attempt to deduce it from the filename. If this is unsuccessful,
76 the main UniGene build format is assumed.
78 The format name is case insensitive. 'UNIGENE', 'UniGene' and
79 'unigene' are all supported, as are dbSNP, dbsnp, and DBSNP
85 See below for more detailed summaries. The main methods are:
87 =head2 $cluster = $str-E<gt>next_cluster()
89 Fetch the next cluster from the stream.
92 =head2 TIEHANDLE(), READLINE(), PRINT()
94 These I've left in here because they were in the SeqIO
95 module. Feedback appreciated. There they provide the tie interface.
96 See L<perltie> for more details.
102 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this
103 and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably
104 to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.
105 Your participation is much appreciated.

112 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
114 I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
116 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
117 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
118 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
119 with code and data examples if at all possible.

124 the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the

295 Title : _guess_format
296 Usage : $obj->_guess_format($filename)
