NAME

       Bio::SeqIO::mbsout - input stream for output by Teshima et al.'s mbs.

SYNOPSIS

       Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

DESCRIPTION

       mbs (Teshima KM, Innan H (2009) mbs: modifying Hudson's ms software to generate samples of
       DNA sequences with a biallelic site under selection. BMC Bioinformatics 10: 166 ) can be
       found at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/10/166/additional/.

       Currently this object can be used to read output from mbs into seq objects.  However,
       because bioperl has no support for haplotypes created using an infinite sites model (where
       '1' identifies a derived allele and '0' identifies an ancestral allele), the sequences
       returned by mbsout are coded using A, T, C and G. To decode the bases, use the sequence
       conversion table (a hash) returned by get_base_conversion_table(). In the table, 4 and 5
       are used when the ancestry is unclear. This should not ever happen when creating files
       with mbs, but it will be used when creating mbsOUT files from a collection of seq objects
       ( To be added later ). Alternatively, use get_next_hap() to get a string with 1's and 0's
       instead of a seq object.

       mbsout object has an outgroup.  Returns '0'
                 otherwise.  Returns :  1 or 0, currently always 0 Args    : NONE Details   :
       This method will return '1' only if the last population in the mbsout
                 file contains only one haplotype.  If the last population is not an
                 outgroup then create the mbsout object using 'no_outgroup' as input
                 parameter for new() (see mbsout->new()).

                 Currently there exists no way of introducing an outgroup into an mbs
                 file, so this function will always return '0'.

       returns the next sequence (haplotype) in the stream Returns : Bio::Seq object Args    :
       NONE Note : This function is included only to conform to convention.  It only
                 calls next_hap() and passes on that method's return value.  Use
                 next_hap() instead for better performance.

       get_next_hap

       Title   : get_next_hap Usage   : $seq = $stream->get_next_hap() Function: reads and
       returns the next sequence (haplotype) in the stream. Returns
                 void if all sequences in stream have been read.  Returns : Bio::Seq object Args
       : NONE Note : Use this instead of get_next_seq().

       get_next_run

       Title   : get_next_run Usage   : @seqs = $stream->get_next_run() Function: reads and
       returns all the remaining sequences (haplotypes) in the mbs
                 run of the next sequence.  Returns : array of Bio::Seq objects Args    : NONE

   METHODS TO RETRIEVE CONSTANTS
       base_conversion_table

       Title   : get_base_conversion_table Usage   : $table_hash_ref =
       $stream->get_base_conversion_table() Function: returns a reference to a hash.  The keys of
       the hash are the letters
                 'A','T','G','C'.  The values associated with each key are the value
                 that each letter in the sequence of a seq object returned by a
                 Bio::SeqIO::mbsout stream should be translated to.  Returns : reference to a
       hash Args    : NONE Synopsis:

               # retrieve the Bio::Seq object's sequence
               my $haplotype = $seq->seq;
               my $rh_base_conversion_table = $stream->get_base_conversion_table();

               # need to convert all letters to their corresponding numbers.
               foreach my $base (keys %{$rh_base_conversion_table}){
                       $haplotype =~ s/($base)/$rh_base_conversion_table->{$base}/g;
               }

               # $haplotype is now an ms style haplotype. (e.g. '100101101455')
