NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap - Wrapper for running gmap.

SYNOPSIS

         use Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap;
         use Bio::SeqIO;

         my $sio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file=>$filename ,-format=>'fasta');
         my @seq;
         while(my $seq = $sio->next_seq()){
           push @seq,$seq;
         }
         my $mapper =Bio::Tools::Run::Gmap->new();
         my $result = $mapper->run(\@seq);

DESCRIPTION

       Bioperl-run wrapper around gmap.  See <http://www.gene.com/share/gmap/> for information
       about gmap.

       It requires a reference to an array of bioperl SeqI objects and returns a reference to a
       filehandle from which the gmap output can be read.

       One can explicitly set the name of the genome database (defaults to NHGD_R36) using the
       'genome_db()' method.  One can also explicitly set the flags that are passed to gmap
       (defaults to '-f 9 -5 -e') using the 'flags()' method.

       The name of the gmap executable can be overridden using the program_name() method and the
       directory in which to find that executable can be overridden using the program_dir()
       method.

APPENDIX

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

   new
        Title   : new
        Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap();
        Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap object
        Returns : an instance of Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Gmap
        Args    :

   version
        Title   : version
        Usage   : print "gmap version: " . $mapper->version() . "\n";
        Function: retrieves and returns the version of the gmap package.
        Example :
        Returns : scalar string containing the version number.  Probably looks
                  like YYYY-MM-DD.
        Args    : none.

   program_name
        Title   : program_name
        Usage   : $mapper->program_name('gmap-dev');
                  my $pname = $mapper->program_name();
        Function: sets/gets the name of the program to run.
        Returns : string representing the name of the executable.
        Args    : [optional] string representing the name of the executable
                  to set.

   program_dir
        Title   : program_dir
        Usage   : $mapper->program_dir('/usr/local/sandbox/gmap/bin');
                  my $pdir = $mapper->program_dir();
        Function: sets/gets the directory path in which
                  to find the gmap executable.
        Returns : string representing the path to the directory.
        Args    : [optional] string representing the directory path to set.

   input_file
        Title   : input_file
        Usage   : $mapper->input_file('/tmp/moose.fasta');
                  my $filename = $mapper->input_file();
        Function: sets/gets the name of a file containing sequences
                  to be mapped.
        Returns : string containing the name of the query sequence.
        Args    : [optional] string representing the directory path to set.

   genome_db

                  my $genome_db = $mapper->genome_db();
        Function: sets/gets the name of the genome database, this will be
                  passed to gmap using its '-d' flag.
        Returns : name of the genome database.
        Args    : [optional] string representing the genome db to set.

   flags
        Title   : flags
        Usage   : $mapper->flags('-A -e -5');
                  my $flags = $mapper->flags();
        Function: sets/gets the flags that will be passed to gmap.
        Returns : the current value of the flags that will be passed to gmap.
        Args    : [optional] the flags to set.

   run
        Title   : run
        Usage   : $mapper->run()
        Function: runs gmap
        Example :
        Returns : a file handle, opened for reading, for gmap's output.
        Args    : An array of references query sequences (as Bio::Seq objects)
