NAME

       Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix - Object oriented access to the underlying tbx C methods

SYNOPSIS

           use feature qw( say );
           use Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix;

           my $tabix = Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix->new( filename => "gerp_plus_plus_31July2014.gz" );

           say $tabix->header;
           my $iter = $tabix->query("1:4000005-4000009");

           while ( my $n = $iter->next ) {
               say $n;
           }
           $tabix->close;

DESCRIPTION

       A high level object oriented interface to the htslib tabix (tbx.h) api. Currently it only
       supports retrieving regions from a tabixed file, because that's all I needed it for.

   Attributes
       "filename"  The gzipped file you want to query. Must have a filename.tbi (the index is not
                   created automatically)

   Methods
       "header"    Returns all the header lines as a single scalar from the tabixed file

       "query"     Takes a single region like: '1:4000005-4000009' or '12:5000000'. The
                   coordinate format is 0 or 1-based for start and stop positions depending on
                   how the Tabix index file was created - by default this is 1.

                   The index for remote files will be downloaded to the system temporary
                   directory by default. Set use_tmp_dir to 0 to download to the current working
                   directory instead.

                   Here are some examples showing Tabix.

                       use Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix;

                       my $tabix = Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix->new(filename => $file, use_tmp_dir => 1);

                       # Calling region 1

                       $iter = $tabix->query("1");
                       printf("Calling region 1\n" );
                       while(my $l = $iter->next) {
                         print $l, "\n";
                       }
                   Gives:

                       1       4000002 4000002 -2.15

                   Returns a Bio::DB::HTS::Tabix::Iterator for the specified region

       "seqnames"  Returns an array ref of chromosomes that are in the indexed file
