Synopsis

    
    
    

Description

TFBS::DB::JASPAR4 is a read/write database interface module that
retrieves and stores TFBS::Matrix::* and TFBS::MatrixSet
objects in a relational database. The interface is nearly identical
to the JASPAR2interface, while the underlying data model is different

Methods

Methods description

 Title   : connect
 Usage   : my $db =
	    TFBS::DB::JASPAR4->connect("dbi:mysql:DATABASENAME:HOSTNAME",
					"USERNAME",
					"PASSWORD");
 Function: connects to the existing JASPAR4-type database and
	   returns a database object that interfaces the database
 Returns : a TFBS::DB::JASPAR4 object
 Args    : a standard database connection triplet
	   ("dbi:mysql:DATABASENAME:HOSTNAME",  "USERNAME", "PASSWORD")
	   In place of DATABASENAME, HOSTNAME, USERNAME and PASSWORD,
	   use the actual values. PASSWORD and USERNAME might be
	   optional, depending on the user's acces permissions for
	   the database server.

 Title   : dbh
 Usage   : my $dbh = $db->dbh();
	   $dbh->do("UPDATE matrix_data SET name='ADD1' WHERE NAME='SREBP2'");
 Function: returns the DBI database handle of the MySQL database
	   interfaced by $db; THIS IS USED FOR WRITING NEW METHODS
	   FOR DIRECT RELATIONAL DATABASE MANIPULATION - if you
	   have write access AND do not know what you are doing,
	   you can severely  corrupt the data
	   For documentation about database handle methods, see DBI
 Returns : the database (DBI) handle of the MySQL JASPAR2-type
	   relational database associated with the TFBS::DB::JASPAR2
	   object
 Args    : none

 Title   : delete_Matrix_having_ID
 Usage   : $db->delete_Matrix_with_ID('M00045');
 Function: Deletes the matrix having the given ID from the database
 Returns : 0 on success; $@ contents on failure
	   (this is too C-like and may change in future versions)
 Args    : (ID)
	   A string
 Comment : Yeah, yeah, 'delete_Matrix_having_ID' is a stupid name
	   for a method, but at least it should be obviuos what it does.

 Title   : get_MatrixSet
 Usage   : my $matrixset = $db->get_MatrixSet(%args);
 Function: fetches matrix data under for all matrices in the database
	   matching criteria defined by the named arguments
	   and returns a TFBS::MatrixSet object
 Returns : a TFBS::MatrixSet object
 Args    : This method accepts named arguments, corresponding to arbitrary tags.
           Note that this is different from JASPAR2. As any tag is supported for
           database storage, any tag can be used for information retrieval.
           Additionally, arguments as 'name' and 'class' can be used (even though
           they are not tags.
           As with get_Matrix methods, it is important to realize taht any matrix
           format can be stored in the database: the TFBS::MatrixSet might therefore
           consist of PFMs, ICMs and PWMS, depending on how matrices are stored,
           
           Examples include
	   -ID        # a reference to an array of IDs (strings)
	   -name      # a reference to an array of
		       #  transcription factor names (string)
	   -class    # a reference to an array of
		       #  structural class names (strings)
	   -species    # a reference to an array of
		       #   Latin species names (strings)
	   -sysgroup  # a reference to an array of
		       #  higher taxonomic categories (strings)

	  
	   -min_ic     # float, minimum total information content
		       #   of the matrix. IMPORTANT:if retrieved matrices are in PWM
		       format there is no way to measureinformation content.
	-matrixtype    #string describing type of matrix to retrieve. If left out, the format
                        will revert to the database format. Note that this option only works
                      if the database format is pfm

    my $matrixset = $db->(-class => ['TRP_CLUSTER', 'FORKHEAD'],
			  -species => ['Homo sapiens', 'Mus musculus'],
			  );

 Title   : get_Matrix_by_ID
 Usage   : my $pfm = $db->get_Matrix_by_ID('M00034', 'PFM');
 Function: fetches matrix data under the given ID from the
           database and returns a TFBS::Matrix::* object
 Returns : a TFBS::Matrix::* object; the exact type of the
	   object depending on what form the matrix is stored
	   in the database (PFM is default)
 Args    : (Matrix_ID)
	   Matrix_ID is a string;

 Title   : get_Matrix_by_name
 Usage   : my $pfm = $db->get_Matrix_by_name('HNF-1');
 Function: fetches matrix data under the given name from the
	   database and returns a TFBS::Matrix::* object
 Returns : a TFBS::Matrix::* object; the exact type of the object
	   depending on what form the matrix object was stored in
	   the database (default PFM))
 Args    : (Matrix_name)
	   
 Warning : According to the current JASPAR4 data model, name is
	   not necessarily a unique identifier. In the case where
	   there are several matrices with the same name in the
	   database, the function fetches the first one and prints
	   a warning on STDERR. You've been warned.

 Title   : new
 Usage   : DEPRECATED - for backward compatibility only
           Use connect() or create() instead

 Title   : store_Matrix
 Usage   : $db->store_Matrix($matrixobject);
 Function: Stores the contents of a TFBS::Matrix::DB object in the database
 Returns : 0 on success; $@ contents on failure
	   (this is too C-like and may change in future versions)
 Args    : (PFM_object)
	   A TFBS::Matrix::PFM, FBS::Matrix::PWM or FBS::Matrix::ICM object.
	   PFM object are recommended to use, as they are eaily converted to
	   other formats
 Comment : this is an experimental method that is not 100% bulletproof;
	   use at your own risk

General documentation

JASPAR4 is working name for a relational database model used
for storing transcriptional factor pattern matrices in a MySQL database.
It was initially designed (JASPAR2) to store matrices for the JASPAR database of
high quality eukaryotic transcription factor specificity profiles by
Albin Sandelin and Wyeth W. Wasserman. Besides the profile matrix itself,
this data model stores profile ID (unique), name, structural class,
basic taxonomic and bibliographic information
as well as some additional opseqdbtional tags.
Tags that are commonly used in the actual JASPAR database include
'medline' # PubMed ID
'species' # Species name
'superclass' #Species supergroup, eg 'vertebrate', 'plant' etc
'total_ic' # total information content - redundant, present
# for historical
'type' #experimental nethod
'acc' #accession number for TF protein sequence
'seqdb' #corresponding database name

but any tag is storable and searchable.


----------------------- ADVANCED ---------------------------------
For the developers and the curious, here is the JASPAR4 data model:

It is our best intention to hide the details of this data model, which we
are using on a daily basis in our work, from most TFBS users.
Most users should only know the methods to store the data and
which tags are supported.
