=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Scansite - a wrapper around the Scansite server

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Scansite;

  my $seq; # a Bio::PrimarySeqI object

  my $tool = Bio::Tools::Analysis::Protein::Scansite->new
     ( -seq => $seq->primary_seq );

  # run Scansite prediction on a sequence
  $tool->run();

  # alternatively you can say
  $tool->seq($seq->primary_seq)->run;

  die "Could not get a result" unless $tool->status =~ /^COMPLETED/;

  print $tool->result;     # print raw prediction to STDOUT

  foreach my $feat ( $tool->result('Bio::SeqFeatureI') ) {

      # do something to SeqFeature
      # e.g. print as GFF
      print $feat->gff_string, "\n";
      # or store within the sequence - if it is a Bio::RichSeqI
      $seq->add_SeqFeature($feat);

 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a wrapper around the Scansite 2.0 server which produces
predictions for serine, threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites
in eukaryotic proteins. At present this is a basic wrapper for the
"Scan protein by input sequence" functionality, which takes a sequence
and searches for motifs, with the option to select the search
stringency. At present, searches for specific phosphorylation
sites are not supported; all predicted sites are returned.

=head2 Return formats

The Scansite results can be obtained in several formats:

=over 3

=item 1.

By calling

  my $res = $tool->result('');

$res holds a string of the predicted sites in tabular format.

=item 2.

By calling

  my $data_ref = $tool->result('value')

$data_ref is a reference to an array of hashes. Each element in the
array represents a predicted phosphorylation site. The hash keys are
the names of the data fields,i.e.,

    'motif'      => 'Casn_Kin1'       # name of kinase
    'percentile' => 0.155             # see Scansite docs
    'position'   => 9                 # position in protein
    'protein'    => 'A1'              # protein id
    'score'      => 0.3696            # see Scansite docs
    'sequence'   => 'ASYFDTASYFSADAT' # sequence surrounding site
    'site'       => 'S9'              # phosphorylated residue
    'zscore'     => '-3.110'          # see Scansite docs

=item 3.

By calling

  my @fts = $tool->Result('Bio::SeqFeatureI');

which returns an array of L compliant objects with
primary tag value 'Site' and tag names of 'motif', 'score',
'sequence', 'zscore' as above.

=back

See L.

This inherits Bio::SimpleAnalysisI which hopefully makes it easier to
write wrappers on various services. This class uses a web resource and
therefore inherits from L.

=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 one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support

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

I

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
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
web:

=head2 result

 Name    : result
 Usage   : $job->result (...)
 Returns : a result created by running an analysis
 Args    : none (but an implementation may choose
           to add arguments for instructions how to process
           the raw result)

The method returns a scalar representing a result of an executed
job. If the job was terminated by an error, the result may contain
an error message instead of the real data.

This implementation returns differently processed data depending on
argument:

=over 3

=item undef

Returns the raw ASCII data stream but without HTML tags

=item 'Bio::SeqFeatureI'

The argument string defined the type of bioperl objects returned in an
array.  The objects are L.

=item 'parsed'

Returns a reference to an array of hashes containing the data of one
phosphorylation site prediction. Key values are:

motif, percentile, position, protein, score, site, zscore,  sequence.
