SYNOPSIS
use Bio::SeqIO;
# don't instantiate directly - instead do
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => 'entrezgene',
-file => $file);
my $gene = $seqio->next_seq;
DESCRIPTION
This is EntrezGene ASN bioperl parser. It is built on top of
Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene, a low level ASN parser built by Mingyi Liu
(<http://sourceforge.net/projects/egparser>). The easiest way to use it
is shown above.
You will get most of the Entrez Gene annotation such as gene symbol,
gene name and description, accession numbers associated with the gene,
etc. Almost all of these are given as Bio::AnnotationI objects.
If you need all the data do:
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => 'entrezgene',
-file => $file,
-debug => 'on' );
my ($gene,$genestructure,$uncaptured) = $seqio->next_seq;
The second variable returned, $genestructure, is a
Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily object. It contains all Refseqs and the
genomic contigs that are associated with the particular gene. The third
variable, $uncaptured, is a reference to a plain array.
You can also modify the output to allow back compatibility with the old
LocusLink parser:
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => 'entrezgene',
-file => $file,
-locuslink => 'convert');
The "-debug" and "-locuslink" options slow down the parser.
Example code which looks for ontology terms:
my $eio = new Bio::SeqIO(-file => $file,
-format => 'entrezgene',
-service_record => 'yes');
while (my $seq = $eio->next_seq) {
my $gid = $seq->accession_number;
foreach my $ot ($ann->get_Annotations('OntologyTerm')) {
next if ($ot->term->authority eq 'STS marker'); # No STS markers
my $evid = $ot->comment;
$evid =~ s/evidence: //i;
my @ref = $ot->term->get_references;
my $id = $ot->identifier;
my $fid = 'GO:' . sprintf("%07u",$id);
print join("\t",$gid, $ot->ontology->name, $ot->name, $evid,
$fid, @ref?$ref[0]->medline:''), "\n";
}
}
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 list. 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.
