NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal - Wrapper for local execution of cmalign, cmbuild, cmsearch,
       cmscore

SYNOPSIS

         # parameters which are switches are set with any value that evals TRUE,
         # others are set to a specific value

         my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal->new(@params);

         # run cmalign|cmbuild|cmsearch|cmscore|cmemit directly as a wrapper method
         # this resets the program flag if previously set

         $factory->cmsearch(@seqs); # searches Bio::PrimarySeqI's based on set cov. model
                                    # saves output to optional outfile_name, returns
                                    # Bio::SearchIO

         # only values which are allowed for a program are set, so one can use the same
         # wrapper for the following...

         $factory->cmalign(@seqs); # aligns Bio::PrimarySeqI's to a set cov. model,
                                   # --merge option allows two alignments generated
                                   #     from the same CM to be merged.
                                   # output to outfile_name, returns Bio::AlignIO
         $factory->cmscore();      # scores set cov. model against Bio::PrimarySeqI,
                                   # output to outfile_name/STDOUT.
         $factory->cmbuild($aln); # builds covariance model based on alignment
                                  # CM to outfile_name or model_file (one is required
                                  # here), output to STDOUT.
         $factory->cmemit();      # emits sequence from specified cov. model;
                                  # set one if no file specified. output to
                                  # outfile_name, returns Bio::SeqIO or (if -a is set)
                                  # Bio::AlignIO
         $factory->cmcalibrate($file); # calibrates specified cov. model; output to
                                       # STDOUT
         $factory->cmstat($file); # summary stats for cov. model; set one if no file
                                  # specified; output to STDOUT

         # run based on the setting of the program parameter

         my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal->new(-program => 'cmsearch',
                                                       @params);
         my $search = $factory->run($seq);

         # using cmsearch returns a Bio::SearchIO object

         while (my $result = $searchio->next_result){
          while(my $hit = $result->next_hit){
           while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp){
                   print join("\t", ( $r->query_name,
                                      $hit->name,
                                      $hsp->hit->start,

                                      )), "\n";
           }

DESCRIPTION

       Wrapper module for Sean Eddy's Infernal suite of programs. The current implementation runs
       cmsearch, cmcalibrate, cmalign, cmemit, cmbuild, cmscore, and cmstat. cmsearch will return
       a Bio::SearchIO, cmemit a Bio::SeqIO/AlignIO, and cmalign a Bio::AlignIO.  All others send
       output to STDOUT.  Optionally, any program's output can be redirected to outfile_name.

       We HIGHLY suggest upgrading to Infernal 1.0.  In that spirit, this wrapper now supports
       parameters for Infernal 1.0 only; for wrapping older versions of Infernal we suggest using
       the version of Bio::Tools::Run::Infernal that came with previous versions of BioPerl-run.

       NOTE: Due to conflicts in the way Infernal parameters are now formatted vs.  subroutine
       naming in Perl (specifically the inclusion of hyphens) and due to the very large number of
       parameters available, setting and resetting parameters via set_parameters() and
       reset_parameters() is required. All valid parameters can be set, but only ones valid for
       the executable set via program()/program_name() are used for calling the executables, the
       others are silently ignored.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       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.

         bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
         http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their
       resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

                           the value, type, and prefix. Default is value only.
                  'valid'- same a 'full', but only returns the grouping valid for the
