=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::BEDTools - Run wrapper for the BEDTools suite of programs *BETA*

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # use a BEDTools program
 $bedtools_fac = Bio::Tools::Run::BEDTools->new( -command => 'subtract' );
 $result_file = $bedtools_fac->run( -bed1 => 'genes.bed', -bed2 => 'mask.bed' );

 # if IO::Uncompress::Gunzip is available...
 $result_file = $bedtools_fac->run( -bed1 => 'genes.bed.gz', -bed2 => 'mask.bed.gz' );

 # be more strict
 $bedtools_fac->set_parameters( -strandedness => 1 );

 # and even more...
 $bedtools_fac->set_parameters( -minimum_overlap => 1e-6 );

 # create a Bio::SeqFeature::Collection object
 $features = $bedtools_fac->result( -want => 'Bio::SeqFeature::Collection' );

=head1 DEPRECATION WARNING

Most executables from BEDTools v>=2.10.1 can read GFF and VCF formats
in addition to BED format. This requires the use of a new input file param,
shown in the following documentation, '-bgv', in place of '-bed' for the
executables that can do this.

This behaviour breaks existing scripts.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a wrapper interface for Aaron R. Quinlan and Ira M. Hall's
utilities C that allow for (among other things):

=over

=item * Intersecting two BED files in search of overlapping features.

=item * Merging overlapping features.

=item * Screening for paired-end (PE) overlaps between PE sequences and existing genomic features.

=item * Calculating the depth and breadth of sequence coverage across defined "windows" in a genome.

=back

(see L for manuals and downloads).


=head1 OPTIONS

C is a suite of 17 commandline executable. This module attempts to
provide and options comprehensively. You can browse the choices like so:

 $bedtools_fac = Bio::Tools::Run::BEDTools->new;

 # all bowtie commands
 @all_commands = $bedtools_fac->available_parameters('commands');
 @all_commands = $bedtools_fac->available_commands; # alias

 # just for default command ('bam_to_bed')
 @btb_params = $bedtools_fac->available_parameters('params');
 @btb_switches = $bedtools_fac->available_parameters('switches');
 @btb_all_options = $bedtools_fac->available_parameters();

Reasonably mnemonic names have been assigned to the single-letter
command line options. These are the names returned by
C, 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 for details of BEDTools options.

=head1 FILES

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

  $bedtools_fac = Bio::Tools::Run::BEDTools->new( -command => 'pair_to_bed' );
  @filespec = $bedtools_fac->filespec;

This example returns the following array:

 #bedpe
 #bam
 bed
 #out

This indicates that the bed (C BED format) file MUST be
specified, and that the out, bedpe (C BEDPE format) and bam
(C binary format) file MAY be specified (Note that in this case you
MUST provide ONE of bedpe OR bam, the module at this stage does not allow
this information to be queried). Use these in the C call like so:

 $bedtools_fac->run( -bedpe => 'paired.bedpe',
                     -bgv => 'genes.bed',
                     -out => 'overlap' );

The object will store the programs STDERR output for you in the C
attribute:

 handle_bed_warning($bedtools_fac) if ($bedtools_fac->stderr =~ /Usage:/);

For the commands 'fasta_from_bed' and 'mask_fasta_from_bed' STDOUT will also
be captured in the C attribute by default and all other commands
can be forced to capture program output in STDOUT by setting the -out
filespec parameter to '-'.

=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.

=head2 Support

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

L

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
