Bio::Index::Swissprot - Interface for indexing one or more Swissprot files.

  # Make an index for one or more Swissprot files:
    use Bio::Index::Swissprot;
    use strict;
    my $index_file_name = shift;
    my $inx = Bio::Index::Swissprot->new(
        -filename => $index_file_name,
        -write_flag => 1);
    $inx->make_index(@ARGV);
  # Print out several sequences present in the index in Genbank
  # format:
    use Bio::Index::Swissprot;
    use Bio::SeqIO;
    use strict;
    my $out = Bio::SeqIO->new( -format => 'genbank',
                               -fh => \*STDOUT );
    my $index_file_name = shift;
    my $inx = Bio::Index::Swissprot->new(-filename => $index_file_name);
    foreach my $id (@ARGV) {
        my $seq = $inx->fetch($id); # Returns a Bio::Seq object
        $out->write_seq($seq);
    }
    # alternatively
    my ($id, $acc);
    my $seq1 = $inx->get_Seq_by_id($id);
    my $seq2 = $inx->get_Seq_by_acc($acc);

By default the index that is created uses the AC and ID identifiers as keys. This module inherits functions for managing dbm files from Bio::Index::Abstract.pm, and provides the basic functionality for indexing Swissprot files and retrieving Sequence objects from them. For best results 'use strict'.

You can also set or customize the unique key used to retrieve by writing your own function and calling the id_parser() method. For example:

   $inx->id_parser(\&get_id);
   # make the index
   $inx->make_index($index_file_name);
   # here is where the retrieval key is specified
   sub get_id {
      my $line = shift;
      $line =~ /^KW\s+([A-Z]+)/i;
      $1;
   }

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  Title   : _index_file
  Usage   : $index->_index_file( $file_name, $i )
  Function: Specialist function to index Swissprot format files.
            Is provided with a filename and an integer
            by make_index in its SUPER class.
  Example : 
  Returns : 
  Args    :

  Title   : id_parser
  Usage   : $index->id_parser( CODE )
  Function: Stores or returns the code used by record_id to
            parse the ID for record from a string.
            Returns \&default_id_parser (see below) if not
            set. An entry will be added to
            the index for each string in the list returned.
  Example : $index->id_parser( \&my_id_parser )
  Returns : ref to CODE if called without arguments
  Args    : CODE

  Title   : default_id_parser
  Usage   : $id = default_id_parser( $line )
  Function: The default parser for Swissprot.pm
            Returns $1 from applying the regexp /^ID\s*(\S+)/
            or /^AC\s+([A-Z0-9]+)/ to the current line.
  Returns : ID string
  Args    : a line string

 Title   : _file_format
 Usage   : Internal function for indexing system
 Function: Provides file format for this database
 Example :
 Returns :
 Args    :
