A contig is as a set of sequences, locally aligned to each other, so that every sequence has overlapping regions with at least one sequence in the contig, such that a continuous of overlapping sequences is formed, allowing the deduction of a consensus sequence which may be longer than any of the sequences from which it was deduced.
In this documentation we refer to the overlapping sequences used to build the contig as "aligned sequences" and to the sequence deduced from the overlap of aligned sequences as the "consensus". Methods to deduce the consensus sequence from aligned sequences were not yet implemented in this module, but its posssible to add a consensus sequence deduced by other means, e.g, by the assembly program used to build the alignment.
All aligned sequences in a Bio::Assembly::Contig must be Bio::Assembly::Locatable objects and have a unique ID. The unique ID restriction is due to the nature of the module's internal data structures and is also a request of some assembly programs. If two sequences with the same ID are added to a contig, the first sequence added is replaced by the second one.
There are four base coordinate systems in Bio::Assembly::Contig. When you need to access contig elements or data that exists on a certain range or location, you may be specifying coordinates in relation to different sequences, which may be either the contig consensus or one of the aligned sequences that were used to do the assembly.
=========================================================
Name | Referenced sequence
---------------------------------------------------------
"gapped consensus" | Contig (with gaps)
"ungapped consensus" | Contig (without gaps)
"aligned $seqID" | sequence $seqID (with gaps)
"unaligned $seqID" | sequence $seqID (without gaps)
=========================================================
"gapped consensus" refers to positions in the aligned consensus sequence, which is the consensus sequence including the gaps inserted to align it against the aligned sequences that were used to assemble the contig. So, its limits are [ 1, (consensus length + number of gaps in consensus) ]
"ungapped consensus" is a coordinate system based on the consensus sequence, but excluding consensus gaps. This is just the coordinate system that you have when considering the consensus sequence alone, instead of aligned to other sequences.
"aligned $seqID" refers to locations in the sequence $seqID after alignment of $seqID against the consensus sequence (reverse complementing the original sequence, if needed). Coordinate 1 in "aligned $seqID" is equivalent to the start location (first base) of $seqID in the consensus sequence, just like if the aligned sequence $seqID was a feature of the consensus sequence.
"unaligned $seqID" is equivalent to a location in the isolated sequence, just like you would have when considering the sequence alone, out of an alignment. When changing coordinates from "aligned $seq2" to "unaligned $seq2", if $seq2 was reverse complemented when included in the alignment, the output coordinates will be reversed to fit that fact, i.e. 1 will be changed to length($seq2), 2 will be length($seq)-1 and so on.
An important note: when you change gap coordinates from a gapped system ("gapped consensus" or "aligned $seqID") to a system that does not include gaps ("ungapped consensus" or "unaligned $seqID"), the position returned will be the first location before all gaps neighboring the input location.
Bio::Assembly::Contig stores much information about a contig in a Bio::Assembly::SeqFeature::Collection object. Relevant information on the alignment is accessed by selecting features based on their primary tags (e.g. all features which have a primary tag of the form '_aligned_coord:$seqID', where $seqID is an aligned sequence ID, are coordinates for sequences in the contig alignment) and, by using methods from Bio::Assembly::SeqFeature::Collection, it's possible to select features by overlap with other features.
We suggest that you use the primary tags of features as identifiers for feature classes. By convention, features with primary tags starting with a '_' are generated by modules that populate the contig data structure and return the contig object, maybe as part of an assembly object, e.g. drivers from the Bio::Assembly::IO set.
Features in the features collection may be associated with particular aligned sequences. To obtain this, you must attach the sequence to the feature, using attach() seq from Bio::Assembly::SeqFeatureI, before you add the feature to the feature collection. We also suggest to add the sequence id to the primary tag, so that is easy to select feature for a particular sequence.
There is only one feature class that some methods in Bio::Assembly::Contig expect to find in the feature collection: features with primary tags of the form '_aligned_coord:$seqID', where $seqID is the aligned sequence id (like returned by $seq->id()). These features describe the position (in "gapped consensus" coordinates) of aligned sequences, and the method set_seq_coord() automatically changes a feature's primary tag to this form whenever the feature is added to the collection by this method. Only two methods in Bio::Assembly::Contig will not work unless there are features from this class: change_coord() and get_seq_coord().
Other feature classes will be automatically available only when Bio::Assembly::Contig objects are created by a specific module. Such feature classes are (or should be) documented in the documentation of the module which create them, to which the user should refer.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new
Usage : my $contig = Bio::Assembly::Contig->new();
Function : Creates a new contig object
Returns : Bio::Assembly::Contig
Args : -id => unique contig ID
-source => string for the sequence assembly program used
-collection => Bio::SeqFeature::CollectionI instance
These methods exist to enable adding information about possible relations among contigs, e.g. when you already have a scaffold for your assembly, describing the ordering of contigs in the final assembly, but no sequences covering the gaps between neighboring contigs.
Title : source Usage : $contig->source($program); Function : Get/Set program used to build this contig Returns : string Argument : [optional] string
Title : assembly Usage : $contig->assembly($assembly); Function : Get/Set assembly object for this contig Returns : a Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object Argument : a Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object
Title : strand
Usage : $contig->strand($num);
Function : Get/Set contig orientation in a scaffold/assembly.
Its equivalent to the strand property of sequence
objects and sets whether the contig consensus should
be reversed and complemented before being added to a
scaffold or assembly.
Returns : integer
Argument : 1 if orientaion is forward, -1 if reverse and
0 if none
Title : upstream_neighbor
Usage : $contig->upstream_neighbor($contig);
Function : Get/Set a contig neighbor for the current contig when
building a scaffold. The upstream neighbor is
located before $contig first base
Returns : nothing
Argument : Bio::Assembly::Contig

Returns : nothing
Argument : Bio::Assembly::Contig
Title : add_features
Usage : $contig->add_features($feat,$flag)
Function :
Add an array of features to the contig feature
collection. The consensus sequence may be attached to the
added feature, if $flag is set to 1. If $flag is 0 and
the feature attached to one of the contig aligned
sequences, the feature is registered as an aligned
sequence feature. If $flag is 0 and the feature is not
attached to any sequence in the contig, the feature is
simply added to the feature collection and no attachment
or registration is made.
Note: You must attach aligned sequences to their features
prior to calling add_features, otherwise you won't be
able to access the feature through get_seq_feat_by_tag()
method.
Returns : number of features added.
Argument :
$feat : A reference to an array of Bio::SeqFeatureI
$flag : boolean - true if consensus sequence object
should be attached to this feature, false if
no consensus attachment should be made.
Default: false.

These methods affect characters in all sequences without changeing the alignment.
Title : map_chars
Usage : $contig->map_chars('\.','-')
Function :
Does a s/$arg1/$arg2/ on the sequences. Useful for gap
characters
Notice that the from (arg1) is interpretted as a regex,

The consensus residue has to appear at least threshold %
of the sequences at a given location, otherwise a '?'
character will be placed at that location.
(Default value = 0%)
Title : consensus_iupac
Usage : $str = $contig->consensus_iupac()
Function :
Makes a consensus using IUPAC ambiguity codes from DNA
and RNA. The output is in upper case except when gaps in
a column force output to be in lower case.
Note that if your alignment sequences contain a lot of
IUPAC ambiquity codes you often have to manually set
alphabet. Bio::PrimarySeq::_guess_type thinks they
indicate a protein sequence.

Args : None
Methods to map a sequence position into an alignment column and back. column_from_residue_number() does the former. The latter is really a property of the sequence object and can done using Bio::LocatableSeq::location_from_column:
# select somehow a sequence from the alignment, e.g.
my $seq = $contig->get_seq_by_pos(1);
#$loc is undef or Bio::LocationI object
my $loc = $seq->location_from_column(5);
Title : column_from_residue_number
Usage : $col = $contig->column_from_residue_number( $seqname, $resnumber)
Function:
This function gives the position in the alignment
(i.e. column number) of the given residue number in the
sequence with the given name. For example, for the
alignment
Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.GH
Seq2/24-30 ACGG.RTY..
Seq3/43-51 AC.DDEFGHI
column_from_residue_number( "Seq1", 94 ) returns 5.
column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 25 ) returns 2.
column_from_residue_number( "Seq3", 50 ) returns 9.
An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie
outside the length of the aligment
(e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 )
Note: If the the parent sequence is represented by more than
one alignment sequence and the residue number is present in
them, this method finds only the first one.
Returns : A column number for the position in the alignment of the
given residue in the given sequence (1 = first column)
Args : A sequence id/name (not a name/start-end)
A residue number in the whole sequence (not just that
segment of it in the alignment)

Function :
Find a number in a sorted list of numbers. Return values
may be on or two integers. One positive integer or zero
(>=0) is the index of the element that stores the queried
value. Two positive integers (or zero and another
number) are the indexes of elements among which the
queried value should be placed. Negative single values
mean:
-1: $query is smaller than smallest element in list
-2: $query is greater than greatest element in list
