Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer - Wrapper for local execution of Glimmer, GlimmerM and GlimmerHMM.

  # glimmer2
  my $factory =
      Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer->new('-program' => 'glimmer3',
                                    '-model'   => 'model.icm');
  # glimmer3
  my $factory =
      Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer->new('-program' => 'glimmer2',
                                    '-model'   => 'model.icm');
  # glimmerm
  my $factory =
      Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer->new('-program' => 'glimmerm');
  # glimmerHMM
  my $factory =
      Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer->new('-program' => 'glimmerHMM');
  # Pass the factory Bio::Seq objects
  # returns a Bio::Tools::Glimmer object
  my $glimmer = $factory->run($seq);
  or
  my $glimmer = $factor->run(@seq);

Wrapper module for the Glimmer family of programs. Should work with all currently available flavors: Glimmer, GlimmerM and GlimmerHMM. However, only Glimmer 2.X and 3.X have been tested.

Glimmer is open source and available at <http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/glimmer/>.

GlimmerM is open source and available at <http://www.tigr.org/software/glimmerm/>.

GlimmerHMM is open source and available at <http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/software/GlimmerHMM/>.

Note that Glimmer 2.X will only process the first sequence in a fasta file (if you run() more than one sequence at a time, only the first will be processed).

Note that Glimmer 3.X produces two output files. This module only passes the .predict file to Bio::Tools::Glimmer.

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   : program_dir
 Usage   : $factory->program_dir()
 Function: gets/sets the program dir
 Returns:  string
 Args    : string

 Title   : model
 Usage   : $factory>model()
 Function: gets/sets the name of the model (icm) file
 Returns:  string
 Args    : string

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $glimmer->new(@params)
 Function: creates a new Glimmer factory
 Returns:  Bio::Tools::Run::Glimmer
 Args    :

 Usage   :   $obj->run($seq_file)
 Function:   Runs Glimmer/GlimmerM/GlimmerHMM
 Returns :   A Bio::Tools::Glimmer object
 Args    :   An array of Bio::PrimarySeqI objects

 Title   :   _run
 Usage   :   $obj->_run()
 Function:   Internal(not to be used directly)
 Returns :   An instance of Bio::Tools::Glimmer 
 Args    :   file name, sequence identifier (optional)
