=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie - Run wrapper for the Bowtie short-read assembler *BETA*

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # create an index
 $bowtie_build = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new();
 $index = $bowtie_fac->run( 'reference.fasta', 'index_base' );

 # or with named args...

 $index = $bowtie_fac->run( -ref => 'reference.fasta', -ind => 'index_base' );

 # get the base name of the last index from an index builder
 $index = $bowtie_fac->result;
 
 # create an assembly
 $bowtie_fac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new();
 $bowtie_fac->want('Bio::Assembly::Scaffold');
 $bowtie_assy = $bowtie_fac->run( 'reads.fastq', 'index_base' );
 
 # if IO::Uncompress::Gunzip is available and with named args...
 $bowtie_assy = $bowtie_fac->run( -seq => 'reads.fastq.gz', -ind => 'index_base' );
 
 # paired-end
 $bowtie_fac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new(-command => 'paired',
                                            -want => 'Bio::Assembly::Scaffold');
 $bowtie_assy = $bowtie_fac->run( 'reads.fastq', 'index_base', 'paired-reads.fastq' );
 
 # be more strict
 $bowtie_fac->set_parameters( -max_qual_mismatch => 50 );
 
 # create a Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object
 $bowtie_assy = $bowtie_fac->run( 'reads.fastq', 'index_base', 'paired-reads.fastq'  );
 
 # print consensus sequences from assembly object
 for $contig ($bowtie_assy->all_contigs) {
    print $contig->get_consensus_sequence->seq,"\n";
 }
 
 # get the file object of the last assembly
 $io = $bowtie_fac->result( -want => 'Bio::Root::IO' );
 
 # get a merged SeqFeature::Collection of all hits
 #  - currently only available with SAM format 
 $io = $bowtie_fac->result( -want => 'Bio::SeqFeature::Collection' );
 
 #... or the file name directly
 $filename = $bowtie_fac->result( -want => 'raw' );
 
=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a wrapper interface for Ben Langmead and Col
Trapnell's ultrafast memory-efficient short read aligner C<bowtie>
(see L<http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/> for manuals and downloads).


=head1 OPTIONS

C<bowtie> is complex, with many command-line options. This module attempts to 
provide and options comprehensively. You can browse the choices like so:

 $bowtiefac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new( -command => 'single' );
 # all bowtie commands
 @all_commands = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('commands');
 @all_commands = $bowtiefac->available_commands; # alias
 # just for single
 @assemble_params = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('params');
 @assemble_switches = $bowtiefac->available_parameters('switches');
 @assemble_all_options = $bowtiefac->available_parameters();

Reasonably mnemonic names have been assigned to the single-letter
command line options. These are the names returned by
C<available_parameters>, and can be used in the factory constructor
like typical BioPerl named parameters.

As a number of options are mutually exclusive, and the interpretation of
intent is based on last-pass option reaching bowtie with potentially unpredicted
results. This module will prevent inconsistent switches and parameters
from being passed.

See L<http://bowtie.sourceforge.net/bowtie-manpage.shtml> for details of bowtie
options.

=head1 FILES

When a command requires filenames, these are provided to the C<run> method, not
the constructor (C<new()>). To see the set of files required by a command, use
C<available_parameters('filespec')> or the alias C<filespec()>:

  $bowtiefac = Bio::Tools::Run::Bowtie->new( -command => 'paired' );
  @filespec = $bowtiefac->filespec;

This example returns the following array:

 ind
 seq
 seq2
 #out

This indicates that ind (C<bowtie> index file base name), seq (fasta/fastq),and seq2
(fasta/fastq) files MUST be specified, and that the out file MAY be specified. Use
these in the C<run> call like so:

 $bowtiefac->run( -ind => 'index_base', -seq => 'seq-a.fq',
                  -seq2 => 'seq-b.fq', -out => 'align.out' );

Note that named parameters in this form allow you to specify the location of the outfile;
without named parameters, the outfile is located in a tempdir and does not persist beyond
the life of the object - with the exception of index creation.

The object will store the programs STDOUT and STDERR output for you in the C<stdout()>
and C<stderr()> attributes:

 handle_map_warning($bowtiefac) if ($bowtiefac->stderr =~ /warning/);

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 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.

  bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

L<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.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
the web:

 Title   : new

 Args    :

=head2 run()

 Title   : run
 Usage   : $assembly = $bowtie_assembler->run($read1_fastq_file,

           $assembly = $bowtie_assembler->run(%params);
 Function: Run the bowtie assembly pipeline.
 Returns : Assembly results (file, IO object or Assembly object)
 Args    : - fastq file containing single-end reads
           - name of the base of the bowtie index
           - [optional] fastq file containing paired-end reads
           Named params are also available with args:
           -seq, -seq2, -ind (bowtie index), -ref (fasta reference) and -out
 Note    : gzipped inputs are allowed if IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
           is available
           The behaviour for locating indexes follows the definition in
           the bowtie manual - you may use the environment variable
           BOWTIE_INDEXES to specify the index path or use an 'indexes'
           directory under the directory where the bowtie executable
           is located

=head2 set_parameters()

 Title   : set_parameters
 Usage   : $bowtiefac->set_parameters(%params);
 Function: sets the parameters listed in the hash or array,
           maintaining sane options.
 Returns : true on success
 Args    : [optional] hash or array of parameter/values.
 Note    : This will unset conflicts and set required options,
           but will not prevent non-sane requests in the arguments
