1 General capabilities (packages) Sequences fetching, reading, writing, reformatting, annotating, groups Access to remote databases Applications BLAST, Blat, FASTA, HMMer, Clustal, Alignment, many others Gene modeling Genscan, Sim4, Grail, Genemark, ESTScan, MZEF, EPCR XML formats GAME, BSML and AGAVE GFF Trees Genetic maps 3D structure Literature Graphics Biol Practical Biocomputing 1

2 Auxilliary packages possibly of less general interest require additional modules BioPerl-run running applications EMBOSS PISE Bioperl-ext extensions Bioperl-db and BioSQL Biol Practical Biocomputing 2

3 Simple use Bio::Perl; easy access to a small part of Bioperl's functionality in an easy to use manner use Bio::Perl; # this script will only work if you have an internet connection on the # computer you're using, the databases you can get sequences from # are 'swiss', 'genbank', 'genpept', 'embl', and 'refseq' my $seq_object = get_sequence('swiss',"roa1_human"); write_sequence(">roa1.fasta",'fasta',$seq_object); use Bio::Perl; my $seq = get_sequence('swiss',"roa1_human"); # uses the default database - nr in this case my $blast_result = blast_sequence($seq); write_blast(">roa1.blast",$blast_result); Biol Practical Biocomputing 3

4 Bio::Perl Bio::Perl has a number of other easy-to-use functions, including get_sequence - gets a sequence from standard, internet accessible databases read_sequence - reads a sequence from a file read_all_sequences - reads all sequences from a file new_sequence - makes a Bioperl sequence just from a string write_sequence - writes a single or an array of sequence to a file translate - provides a translation of a sequence translate_as_string - provides a translation of a sequence, returning back just the sequence as a string blast_sequence - BLASTs a sequence against standard databases at NCBI write_blast - writes a blast report out to a file Biol Practical Biocomputing 4

5 Sequence Objects Seq, PrimarySeq, LocatableSeq, RelSegment, LiveSeq, LargeSeq, RichSeq, SeqWithQuality, SeqI Common formats are interpreted automatically Simple formats - without features FASTA (Pearson), Raw, GCG Rich Formats - with features and annotations GenBank, EMBL Swissprot, GenPept XML - BSML, GAME, AGAVE, TIGRXML, CHADO Biol Practical Biocomputing 5

6 Sequences, Features and Annotations Sequence - DNA, RNA, Amino Acid Sequences are feature containers Feature - Information with a Sequence Location Annotation - Information without explicit Sequence location Parsing sequences Bio::SeqIO for automatically reading most types multiple drivers: genbank, embl, fasta,... Sequence objects Bio::PrimarySeq Bio::Seq Bio::Seq::RichSeq Biol Practical Biocomputing 6

7 Simple examples #!/bin/perl -w use Bio::Seq; $seq_obj = Bio::Seq->new( -seq => "aaaatgggggggggggccccgtt", -alphabet => 'dna' ); #!/bin/perl -w use Bio::Seq; $seq_obj = Bio::Seq->new( -seq => "aaaatgggggggggggccccgtt", -display_id => "#12345", -desc => "example 1", -alphabet => "dna" ); print $seq_obj->seq(); Biol Practical Biocomputing 7

8 Reading sequences from files & databases #!/bin/perl -w use Bio::SeqIO; $seqio_obj = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => '>sequence.fasta', -format => 'fasta' ); # if there is more than one sequence in the file while ($seq_obj = $seqio_obj->next_seq){ # print the sequence print $seq_obj->seq,"\n"; #!/bin/perl -w use Bio::DB::GenBank; $db_obj = Bio::DB::GenBank->new; $seq_obj = $db_obj->get_seq_by_id( AE ); Biol Practical Biocomputing 8

9 Getting sequences directly from database #!/bin/perl -w use Bio::DB::GenBank; # also Bio::DB::GenBank, Bio::DB::GenPept, Bio::DB::SwissProt, Bio::DB::RefSeq and Bio::DB::EMBL #keyword query $query_obj = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new( -query =>'gbdiv est[prop] AND Trypanosoma brucei [organism]', -db => 'nucleotide' ); $gb = new Bio::DB::GenBank; # this returns a Seq object : $seq1 = $gb->get_seq_by_id('musighba1'); # this also returns a Seq object : $seq2 = $gb->get_seq_by_acc('af303112'); # this returns a SeqIO object, which can be used to get a Seq object : $seqio = $gb->get_stream_by_id(["j00522","af303112"," "]); $seq3 = $seqio->next_seq; Biol Practical Biocomputing 9

10 Getting more sequence information Some methods accession_number() get the accession number display_id() get identifier string description() or desc() get description string seq() get the sequence as a string length() get the sequence length subseq($start, $end) get a subsequence (char string) translate() translate to protein (seq obj) revcom() reverse complement (seq obj) species() Returns an Bio::Species object #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use Bio::SeqIO; use Bio::DB::GenBank; my $genbank = new Bio::DB::GenBank; my $seq = $genbank->get_seq_by_acc('af060485'); # get a record by accession my $dna = $seq->seq; # get the sequence as a string my $id = $seq->display_id; # identifier my $acc = $seq->accession; # accession number my $desc = $seq->desc; # get the description print "ID: $id\naccession: $acc\ndescription: $desc\n$dna\n"; Biol Practical Biocomputing 10
