1 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 1 Perl Resources PERL NOTES: GETTING STARTED Howard Ross School of Biological Sciences The main Perl site (owned by O Reilly publishing company) This site has links at which you can download Perl, if your operating system doesn't already include Perl. Learning Perl Standard Perl Documentation Downloadable Modules CPAN Comprehensive Perl Archive Network BioPerl BioPerl Documentation BioPerl HowTo and Tutorials A Script Editor You will need an editor, as opposed to a word processor or SimpleText. It is most important that the editor is syntax- or language-aware. That means it colours each item in the script according to what "part of speech" it is, and will alert you when braces or parentheses are not matched. Try to Google "perl editor youroperatingsystem" If you get more adventurous, you will use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse with the EPIC add-on for Perl.
2 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 2 To run a Perl script Write your Perl script in an editor. Save it with.pl extension (myscript.pl) in your workfolder. In the Terminal or Command window, change the default directory to the work folder cd workfolder Execute it with perl myscript.pl Syntax Overview Perl statements end in a semi-colon. Comments start with a hash symbol and run to the end of the line print "Hello, world"; # comment to EOL Whitespace is irrelevant: print "Hello, world" ;... except inside quoted strings: vs # this would print with a line break in the middle print "Hello world"; Double quotes or single quotes may be used around literal strings print "Hello, world"; print 'Hello, world'; But, only double quotes "interpolate" variables and special characters such as newlines (\n) print "Hello, $name\n"; print 'Hello, $name\n'; # works fine # prints $name\n literally Variable Types & their Names Scalar ($name) type set by context: string, int, real Array of Scalars (@name) indexed from [0], elements $array[$i] last index of array = $#array Associative Array of Scalars [Hash] (%name) unordered $hash{ $key = $value
3 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 3 Examples of Variables Scalars my $animal = "camel"; my $answer = 42; Arrays = ("camel", "llama", "owl"); = (23, 42, 69); = ("camel", 42, 1.23); value of $numbers[2] is 69, value of $animals[2] is owl Hashes my %fruit_colour = ("apple", "red", "banana", "yellow"); $fruit_colour{ apple has value red more common method to load values my %fruit_colour = ( apple => "red", banana => "yellow", ); extracting keys and values = keys %fruit_colour; = values %fruit_colour; Variable Scoping my creates lexically scoped variables Variables scoped to block (i.e. set of statements surrounded by { ) in which they are defined. allows creation of global and local variables my $a = "foo"; if ($some_condition) { my $b = "bar"; print $a; # prints "foo" print $b; # prints "bar" print $a; # prints "foo" print $b; # prints nothing; $b has fallen out of scope Conditionals and Loops if (negated is unless), while (negated is until) if ( condition ) {... elsif ( other condition ) { # NOTE SPELLING!!!... else {
4 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 4... Post-conditionals Syntax: perform something conditional condition; print "Yow!" if $zippy; print "We have no bananas" unless $bananas; do { $line = <STDIN>; chomp $line;... until $line eq.\n ; for and foreach loops C-type syntax in a for loop for ($i=0; $i <= $max; $i++) {... but foreach loops over all members of a list # loop over every key in %hash and print its value foreach my $key (keys %hash) { print "The value of $key is $hash{$key\n"; or # loop over every integer in a range foreach my $number (2.. 12) { print "$number\n"; Operators Arithmetic: + - * / ** = -= Numeric comparison: ==!= > < <= >= String comparison: eq ne lt gt le ge concatenation:. Boolean Logic: &&! infix dereference operator, as in C and C++: -> pattern binding operator: =~!~
5 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 5 Files and File Handles Opening a file for input or output open INFILE, "input.txt", or die "Can't open input: $!"; # or my $infile = $replicate.txt ; # causes interpolation open INFILE, $infile, or die "Can't open $infile: $!"; # open for write, overwrite file contents open OUTFILE, ">output.txt", or die "Can't open output: $!"; # open for write, append to file contents open LOGFILE, ">>my.log", or die "Can't open logfile: $!"; Reading from a filehandle Read from an open filehandle using the <> operator. In scalar context it reads a single line - use a loop In list context it reads the whole file in, assigning each line to an element of the list my $line = <INFILE>; # reads one line into a string = <INFILE>; # reads all lines into an array #or while (defined($line = <INPUT>)){ chomp $line; # remove trailing \n ($id,$time) = ($line =~ (/^(\S+)(\d+).*$/)); print OUTPUT "$id\t$time\n"; Writing and Closing Naming the filehandle for output is optional, the default being STDOUT print OUTFILE $record; print LOGFILE $logmessage; and close the filehandle when you are finished close LOGFILE; Magic variables The default variable for function input or output is $_ allows the writing of English-like code opportunity to obfuscate = ("dog", "cow", "sheep", "horse", "chicken"); print =
6 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 6 for $i (0.. $#sorted_pets ){ print $sorted_pets[$i]; Array of arguments passed to a subroutine Almost anything matching pattern $x where x is a number, piece of punctuation or control character ($ $& $< $? $^C $5 etc) - Use only with extreme caution! Subroutines sub razzle { print OK, you ve been razzled.\n ; and call with razzle(); Placed either in current file or in called module (use modulename;) Function parameters and multiple return values passed as single, flat lists of scalars Passing Arguments and Returning Values Incoming arguments or razzle($victim,$con); sub razzle { my ($vic, $c) # $vic = $_[0], $c = $_[1] # $deal[0] = $_[0], $deal[1] = $_[1] Return value is the value of last expression evaluated or use explicit return statement References hard (not symbolic) references $scalarref = \$foo; $$scalarref returns value of = ( 1, b, 2, 3, e ); $arrayref = \@array; $arrayref->[4] has value e Passing a reference to a subroutine $total = sum (\@a); sub sum { my ($aref)

8 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 8 Regular Expressions & Pattern Matching (REGEX) Find a substring, based on a pattern, and extract or modify it Simple matching if (m/foo/) {... # true if $_ contains "foo" if (/foo/) {... # m is implied if ($a =~ /foo/) {... # true if $a contains "foo" if ($a!~ /foo/) {... # true if $a lacks "foo" Simple substitution s/foo/bar/; # replaces foo with bar in $_ $a =~ s/foo/bar/; # replaces foo with bar in $a $a =~ s/foo/bar/g; # replaces ALL INSTANCES of foo with bar in $a Transliteration tr/abc/123/; # replaces a with 1, b with 2, c with 3 in $_ $a =~ tr/a-z/a-z/; # converts all letters in $a to lower case ($count) = ($a =~ tr/a-z/a-z/); # converts all letters in $a to lower case # AND returns the number of times it did this Specifying type of character(s) to match. a single character \s a whitespace character (space, tab, newline) \S a non-whitespace character \d a digit (0-9) \D a non-digit \w a word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _) \W a non-word character [aeiou] matches a single character in the given set [^aeiou] matches a single char outside the given set (foo bar baz) matches any of the alternatives specified ^ start of string $ end of string Modifying the number of occurrences (eg /foo\d*/) * zero or more of the previous thing + one or more of the previous thing? zero or one of the previous thing {3 matches exactly 3 of the previous thing {3,6 matches between 3 and 6 of the previous thing {3, matches 3 or more of the previous thing
9 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 9 Modifying the type of search /foo/i ignore alphabetic case /foo/m treat string as multiple lines /foo/s treat string as single line /foo/g globally find all matches Examples of use /^>/ /\$\d+/ /[-]?\d+[.]\d+/ /(\d\s){3/ /(a.)+/ string starts with > header line in FASTA matches a price (or salary) in a file matches a real number three digits, each followed by a whitespace character (eg "3 4 5 ") matches string in which every odd-numbered letter is a (eg "abacadaf") /(taa tga tag)+/i matches any STOP codon Capturing from a pattern Matches to bits in parentheses go into $1, $2, etc if ($novel =~ /(War) and (Peace)/) {... $1 holds War and $2 holds Peace Or... if (($seqid,$species) = ($line =~ /ID: (\d+) SP: (\w+ \w+)/){... then for data ID: SP: Balaenoptera edeni $seqid holds and $species holds Balaenoptera edeni
10 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 10 BioPerl This is a collection of Perl modules that facilitate the development of Perl scripts for bioinformatics applications. Bioperl is Modular Perl is (can be used as) an Object-Oriented language Bioperl modules give access to public objects and methods Private (behind-the-scenes) objects and methods implement the functionality. Bioperl is based on Objects, which have associated Attributes and Actions Sequence Objects o sequences, alignments, sequence details Location Objects o associated with sequence feature details regarding where sequence occurs on chromosome Objects are defined in a hierarchical way. More specific objects (DNA sequence database in Fasta format) have both methods inherited from a more general object (DNA sequence database) and methods specific to themselves. Consequently the methods available in an object vary tremendously. They are not only defined in the object, but also inherited from parental objects. Documentation Basic documentation ( Links to standard documentation for each module or method BioPerl Deobfuscator ( Helps you determine what methods are available to you in each module HOWTOs ( Instructions on how to perform many different common tasks Especially FAQ ( More instructions on how to perform many different common tasks General Syntax You apply or use a method with an object and usually this returns a value $newvalue = $myobject->$themethod; An example # first declare what modules are being used use Bio::DB::Fasta; # initialize some variables my $file = filename.fasta ; my $id = someid ; # create a new instance of the object my $db = Bio::DB::Fasta->new($file); # apply or use methods on the object # get a sequence as string my $seqstring = $db->seq($id);
11 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 11 # get the header, or description, line my $desc = $db->header($id); new, seq, and header are all methods from module Bio::DB::Fasta Another example # A script for converting formats use Bio::SeqIO; $in = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => "inputfilename", '-format' => 'Fasta'); $out = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => ">outputfilename", '-format' => 'EMBL'); while ( my $seq = $in->next_seq() ) { $out->write_seq($seq); Accessing Sequences Sequences can be accessed in two logically different ways: 1. From a file, in which they are read sequentially The file needs to be local, i.e. on the current system 2. From a database, in which they can be accessed in random order The database can be local or remote Local = indexed flat file on current system Remote = on different Internet host o Genbank, genpept, RefSeq, swissprot, and EMBL databases Accessing a local file Generally use the methods available in Bio::SeqIO and Bio::Seq # Access a local file containing sequences in FASTA format #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Bio::Seq; use Bio::SeqIO; my $file = 'data.fasta'; my $in = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => 'fasta', -file => $file); while (my $seq = $in->next_seq) { my $id = $seq->display_id; my $length = $seq->length; print "Sequence $id has length $length\n"; Accessing a local database Accessing a local file as a database is much faster, and allows you to move back and forth in the file at will. Also, you can load segments of sequence much more efficiently than if you use the Bio::Seq methods. This module indexes the database files when they are first used, and as required thereafter. If you alter the database files, by other scripts, then you need to re-index them using $db->index_file($filename);
12 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 12 use Bio::DB::Fasta; use strict; # one file or many files my $db = Bio::DB::Fasta->new($path_to_files); # get a sequence as string my $seqstring = $db->seq($id); # Is it dna, rna or protein? my $type = $db->alphabet($id); # get the header, or description, line my $desc = $db->header($id); Accessing a remote database, in this case Swissprot use Bio::DB::SwissProt; $sp = new Bio::DB::SwissProt; $seq = $sp->get_seq_by_id('kpy1_ecoli'); # SwissProt ID: # <4-letter-identifier>_<species 5-letter code> # or... $seq = $sp->get_seq_by_acc('p43780'); # SwissProt Accession Number: [OPQ]xxxxx Querying a remote database, in this case GenBank Compose a query string, just as you would in the interactive interface to GenBank, and then receive a stream of sequence objects. use Bio::DB::GenBank; use Bio::DB::Query::GenBank; $query = "Arabidopsis[ORGN] AND topoisomerase[titl] "; $query_obj = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(-db => 'nucleotide', -query => $query ); $gb_obj = Bio::DB::GenBank->new; $stream_obj = $gb_obj->get_stream_by_query($query_obj); while ($seq_obj = $stream_obj->next_seq) { $do_something_with_the_seq_object;
13 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 13 Manipulating sequences retrieving sequence information o find specific sequences o screen sequences for particular attributes altering sequence information creating sequences and their annotations Retrieving sequence information use Bio::Seq; $seqobj->display_id(); $seqobj->seq(); $seqobj->subseq(5,10); $seqobj->accession_number(); $seqobj->alphabet(); $seqobj->primary_id(); $seqobj->desc(); human readable sequence id sequence as string part of the sequence as a string the accession number 'dna', 'rna', or 'protein a unique id for this sequence a description of the sequence Retrieving sequence features Get the 'top level' sequence = $seqobj->get_seqfeatures(); or all sequence features, including subsequence = $seqobj->all_seqfeatures(); then perform actions based on their values foreach $feat_object (@features) { if ($feat_object->has_tag('translation')) { if ($feat_object->has_tag('protein_id')) { # do something based on protein identifier given # that an amino acid translation if provided or foreach my $tag ($feat_object->get_all_tags) { $do_something_with_tag; foreach my $value ($feat_object->get_tag_values($tag)) { $do_something_with_tagvalue;
14 Perl Notes Howard Ross page 14 Transforming sequences Sequences may be read or written in many different formats. You need to investigate the documentation for the current version of BioPerl to determine whether the desired format is supported for the action (read or write) that you intend to perform. Altering sequence features $subseq = $seqobj->trunc(5,10); # truncate or take a subsequence $mocrev = $seqobj->revcom; # take reverse complement $translation = $seqobj->translate; # translate DNA/RNA to Protein Searching for similar Sequences BLAST (blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn, tblastx) series of programs for searching protein and nucleotide databases Use Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast to submit a query and retrieve report. Default database is Genbank. Alternatively, use interactive BLAST and save results in text format, or run a command-line version and save output to a local file. Then use Bio::SearchIO module for parsing output from sequence-similarity-searching programs (e.g., BLAST). The BLAST results are organised hierarchically. The result contains one or more hits, each of which contains one or more high scoring pairs (HSPs). use Bio::SearchIO; use strict; my $parser = new Bio::SearchIO(-format => 'blast', -file => 'file.bls'); while( my $result = $parser->next_result ){ while( my $hit = $result->next_hit ) { while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp ) { $stuff; There are several commands for retrieving information about each, the results, the hits and the HSPs (see Sequence Alignments TaxonA GAAGAAGATGTAGTAATTAGATCTGAAAATTT TaxonB GAAGAAGAGGTAGTAATTAGATCTGAAGATTT TaxonC GATGAAGAGATAGTAATTAGGTCTGAAAATCT TaxonD GAAGCAGAGGTAGTGA-TAGATCTGAAAATTT TaxonE GAAGAAGAGGTAGTAA-TAGATCTGAAAATTT TaxonF GAAGAAGAGGTAGTAATTAGATCCGAAAATTT positions in alignment represent evolutionary homology import existing alignments or estimate using external software
