NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSApplication - class for EMBOSS Applications

SYNOPSIS

         use Bio::Factory::EMBOSS;
         # get an EMBOSS application object from the EMBOSS factory
         $factory = Bio::Factory::EMBOSS->new();
         $application = $factory->program('embossversion');
         # run the application with an optional hash containing parameters
         $result = $application->run(); # returns a string or creates a file
         print $result . "\n";

         $water = $factory->program('water');

         # here is an example of running the application
         # water can compare 1 seq against 1->many sequences
         # in a database using Smith-Waterman
         my $seq_to_test;     # this would have a seq here
         my @seqs_to_check; # this would be a list of seqs to compare

         my $wateroutfile = 'out.water';
         $water->run({-sequencea => $seq_to_test,
                      -seqall    => \@seqs_to_check,
                      -gapopen   => '10.0',
                      -gapextend => '0.5',
                      -outfile   => $wateroutfile});
         # now you might want to get the alignment
         use Bio::AlignIO;
         my $alnin = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
                                                     -file   => $wateroutfile);

         while ( my $aln = $alnin->next_aln ) {
             # process the alignment -- these will be Bio::SimpleAlign objects
         }

DESCRIPTION

       The EMBOSSApplication class can represent EMBOSS any program. It is created by a
       Bio::Factory::EMBOSS object.

       If you want to check command line options before sending them to the program set
       $prog->verbose to positive integer. The ADC description of the available command line
       options is then parsed in and compared to input.

       See also Bio::Factory::EMBOSS and Bio::Tools::Run::EMBOSSacd.

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 the Bioperl mailing lists  Your participation
       is much appreciated.

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

   run
        Title   : run
        Usage   : $embossapplication->run($attribute_hash)
        Function: Runs the EMBOSS program.
        Returns : string or creates files for now; will return objects!
        Args    : hash of input to the program

   acd
        Title   : acd
        Usage   : $embossprogram->acd
        Function: finds out all the possible qualifiers for this
                  EMBOSS application. They can be used to debug the

        Function: sets/gets the name of the EMBOSS program
                  Setting is done by the EMBOSSFactory object,
                  you should only get it.
