Bio::DB::GenPept(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::DB::GenPept(3)NAMEBio::DB::GenPept - Database object interface to GenPept
SYNOPSIS
$gb = Bio::DB::GenPept->new();
$seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_id('195055'); # Unique ID
# or ...
$seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('DEECTH'); # Accession Number
my $seqio = $gb->get_Stream_by_id(['195055', 'DEECTH']);
while( my $seq = $seqio->next_seq ) {
print "seq is is ", $seq->display_id, "\n";
}
DESCRIPTION
Allows the dynamic retrieval of Sequence objects (Bio::Seq) from the
GenPept database at NCBI, via an Entrez query.
WARNING: Please do NOT spam the Entrez web server with multiple
requests. NCBI offers Batch Entrez for this purpose. Batch Entrez
support will likely be supported in a future version of DB::GenPept.
Currently the only return format supported by NCBI Entrez for GenPept
database is GenPept format, so any format specification passed to
GenPept will be ignored still be forced to GenPept format (which is
just GenBank format).
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.

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

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
get_params
Title : get_params
Usage : my %params = $self->get_params($mode)
Function: Returns key,value pairs to be passed to NCBI database
for either 'batch' or 'single' sequence retrieval method
Returns : a key,value pair hash
Args : 'single' or 'batch' mode for retrieval
default_format
Title : default_format
Usage : my $format = $self->default_format
Function: Returns default sequence format for this module
Returns : string
Args : none
Routines from Bio::DB::WebDBSeqI and Bio::DB::RandomAccessI
get_Seq_by_id
Title : get_Seq_by_id
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN')
Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by its name
Returns : a Bio::Seq object
Args : the id (as a string) of a sequence
Throws : "id does not exist" exception
get_Seq_by_acc
Title : get_Seq_by_acc
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('AAC73346');
Function: Gets a Seq objects by accession number
Returns : Bio::Seq object
Args : accession number to retrive by
Routines implemented by Bio::DB::NCBIHelper
get_request
Title : get_request
Usage : my $url = $self->get_request
Function: HTTP::Request
Returns :
Args : %qualifiers = a hash of qualifiers (ids, format, etc)
get_Stream_by_id
Title : get_Stream_by_id
Usage : $stream = $db->get_Stream_by_id( [$uid1, $uid2] );
Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by unique identifiers
Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
Args : $ref : a reference to an array of unique identifiers for
the desired sequence entries
get_Stream_by_acc (2)
Title : get_Stream_by_acc
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Stream_by_acc($acc);
Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by accession numbers
Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
Args : $ref : a reference to an array of accession numbers for
the desired sequence entries
Note : For GenBank, this just calls the same code for get_Stream_by_id()
request_format
Title : request_format
Usage : my $format = $self->request_format;
$self->request_format($format);
Function: Get/Set sequence format retrieval
Returns : string representing format
Args : $format = sequence format
