DESCRIPTION
ProtMatrix is designed to provide some basic methods when working with position scoring (weight) matrices related to protein sequences. A
protein PSM consists of 20 vectors with 20 frequencies (one per amino acid per position). This is the minimum information you should
provide to construct a PSM object. The vectors can be provided as strings with frequencies where the frequency is {0..a} and a=1. This is
the way MEME compressed representation of a matrix and it is quite useful when working with relational DB. If arrays are provided as an
input (references to arrays actually) they can be any number, real or integer (frequency or count).
When creating the object the constructor will check for positions that equal 0. If such is found it will increase the count for all
positions by one and recalculate the frequency. Potential bug - if you are using frequencies and one of the positions is 0 it will change
significantly. However, you should never have frequency that equals 0.
Throws an exception if: You mix as an input array and string (for example A matrix is given as array, C - as string). The position vector
is (0,0,0,0). One of the probability vectors is shorter than the rest.
Summary of the methods I use most frequently (details bellow):
iupac - return IUPAC compliant consensus as a string
score - Returns the score as a real number
IC - information content. Returns a real number
id - identifier. Returns a string
accession - accession number. Returns a string
next_pos - return the sequence probably for each letter, IUPAC
symbol, IUPAC probability and simple sequence
consenus letter for this position. Rewind at the end. Returns a hash.
pos - current position get/set. Returns an integer.
regexp - construct a regular expression based on IUPAC consensus.
For example AGWV will be [Aa][Gg][AaTt][AaCcGg]
width - site width
get_string - gets the probability vector for a single base as a string.
get_array - gets the probability vector for a single base as an array.
get_logs_array - gets the log-odds vector for a single base as an array.
New methods, which might be of interest to anyone who wants to store PSM in a relational database without creating an entry for each
position is the ability to compress the PSM vector into a string with losing usually less than 1% of the data. this can be done with:
my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_freq('A');
or
my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_logs('A');
Loading from a database should be done with new, but is not yet implemented. However you can still uncompress such string with:
my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1,1); for PSM
or
my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1000,2); for log odds
