Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrixI - SiteMatrixI implementation, holds a position scoring matrix (or position weight matrix) and log-odds
# You cannot use this module directly; see Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix # for an example implementation
SiteMatrix is designed to provide some basic methods when working with position scoring (weight) matrices, such as transcription factor binding sites for example. A DNA PSM consists of four vectors with frequencies {A,C,G,T}. This is the minimum information you should provide to construct a PSM object. The vectors can be provided as strings with frequenciesx10 rounded to an int, going from {0..a} and 'a' represents the maximum (10). This is like MEME's compressed representation of a matrix and it is quite useful when working with relational DB. If arrays are provided as an input (references to arrays actually) they can be any number, real or integer (frequency or count).
When creating the object you can ask the constructor to make a simple pseudo count correction by adding a number (typically 1) to all positions (with the -correction option). After adding the number the frequencies will be calculated. Only use correction when you supply counts, not frequencies.
Throws an exception if: You mix as an input array and string (for example A matrix is given as array, C - as string). The position vector is (0,0,0,0). One of the probability vectors is shorter than the rest.
Summary of the methods I use most frequently (details below):
iupac - return IUPAC compliant consensus as a string
score - Returns the score as a real number
IC - information content. Returns a real number
id - identifier. Returns a string
accession - accession number. Returns a string
next_pos - return the sequence probably for each letter, IUPAC
symbol, IUPAC probability and simple sequence
consenus letter for this position. Rewind at the end. Returns a hash.
pos - current position get/set. Returns an integer.
regexp - construct a regular expression based on IUPAC consensus.
For example AGWV will be [Aa][Gg][AaTt][AaCcGg]
width - site width
get_string - gets the probability vector for a single base as a string.
get_array - gets the probability vector for a single base as an array.
get_logs_array - gets the log-odds vector for a single base as an array.
New methods, which might be of interest to anyone who wants to store PSM in a relational database without creating an entry for each position is the ability to compress the PSM vector into a string with losing usually less than 1% of the data. this can be done with:
my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_freq('A');
or
my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_logs('A');
Loading from a database should be done with new, but is not yest implemented. However you can still uncompress such string with:
my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1,1); for PSM
or
my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1000,2); for log odds
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.

Title : next_pos
Usage : my %base=$site->next_pos;
Function:
Retrieves the next position features: frequencies and weights for
A,C,G,T, the main letter (as in consensus) and the
probabilty for this letter to occur at this position and
the current position
Throws :
Example :
Returns : hash (pA,pC,pG,pT,lA,lC,lG,lT,base,prob,rel)
Args : none
Title : curpos
Usage : my $pos=$site->curpos;

Title : consensus
Usage :
Function: Returns the consensus
Returns : string
Args : (optional) threshold value 1 to 10, default 5
'5' means the returned characters had a 50% or higher presence at
their position
Title : accession_number
Usage :
Function: accession number, this will be unique id for the SiteMatrix object as
well for any other object, inheriting from SiteMatrix
