Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection - Set of restriction endonucleases

Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection represents a collection of restriction enzymes.
If you create a new collection directly rather than from a REBASE file using Bio::Restriction::IO, it will be populated by a default set of enzymes with site and cut information only.
Use Bio::Restriction::Analysis to figure out which enzymes are available and where they cut your sequence.
Note that the underlying Bio::Restriction::Enzyme objects have a rich variety of methods that allow more complicated selections than the methods that are defined by Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection.
For example, the way to create a custom collection of Type II enzymes is as follows:
my $complete_collection = Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection->new(); my $type_ii_collection = Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection->new( -empty => 1 ); $type_ii_collection->enzymes( grep { $_->type() eq 'II' } $complete_collection->each_enzyme() );
Bio::Restriction::IO - read in enzymes from REBASE files
Bio::Restriction::Analysis - figure out what enzymes cut a sequence
Bio::Restriction::Enzyme - define a single restriction enzyme
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

Title : new Function : Initializes the Restriction::EnzymeCollection object Returns : The Restriction::EnzymeCollection object Arguments : optional named parameter -empty
Set parameter -empty to true if you do NOT want the collection be populated by the default set of prototype type II enzymes.
Alternatively, pass an array of enzymes to -enzymes parameter.
Title : enzyme Function : add/get method for enzymes and enzyme collections Returns : object itself Arguments : array of Bio::Restriction::Enzyme and Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection objects
Title : each_enzyme Function : get an array of enzymes Returns : array of Bio::Restriction::Enzyme objects Arguments : -
Title : get_enzyme Function : Gets a Bio::Restriction::Enzyme object for the enzyme name Returns : A Bio::Restriction::Enzyme object or undef Arguments : An enzyme name that is in the collection
Title : available_list Function : Gets a list of all the enzymes that we know about Returns : A reference to an array with all the enzyme names that we have defined or 0 if none are defined Arguments : Nothing Comments : Note, I maintain this for backwards compatibility, but I don't like the name as it is very ambiguous
Title : longest_cutter Function : Gets the enzyme with the longest recognition site Returns : A Bio::Restriction::Enzyme object Arguments : Nothing Comments : Note, this is used by Bio::Restriction::Analysis to figure out what to do with circular sequences
Title : blunt_enzymes Function : Gets a list of all the enzymes that are blunt cutters Returns : A reference to an array with all the enzyme names that are blunt cutters or 0 if none are defined Arguments : Nothing Comments :
This is an example of the kind of filtering better done by the scripts using the rich collection of methods in Bio::Restriction::Enzyme.
Title : cutters Function : Gets a list of all the enzymes that recognize a certain size, e.g. 6-cutters Usage : $cutters = $collection->cutters(6); Returns : A reference to an array with all the enzyme names that are x cutters or 0 if none are defined Arguments : A positive number for the size of cutters to return OR A range: (-start => 6, -end => 8, -inclusive => 1, -exclusive = 0 )
The default for a range is 'inclusive'
