SWISS::DE.pm
Each DE object represents one protein name. The container object for all names of an entry is SWISS::DEs
SWISS::BaseClass
text
The raw text of the protein name. Note: as SwissKnife works with both new and old DE line formats, for backward rcompatibility, with both formats everything is parsed and stored the same way as it was with the old format. Therefore the raw text for a name of type 'EC' e.g. 6.3.5.5 will be "EC 6.3.5.5" (instead of "6.3.5.5"). Other strings only present in old DE line text format ('precursor' flag and 'Allergen', 'antigen' strings) are also added in the stored raw text. The safe method to get the DE text is toText
(with both the new and old DE line format), which for "EC=6.3.5.5" (new DE line format), will return "6.3.5.5" (DE object of 'EC' type). For "(EC 6.3.5.5)" (old DE line format), will return "EC 6.3.5.5"
category
The category of the protein name: 'RecName', 'AltName', 'SubName' (TrEMBL only)
DE RecName: Full=CAD protein;
DE Short=CAD;
Here both names (DE objects), are of category 'RecName'
Category can be set/modified using category(string)
Note: with the old DE line format, this field is undef
type
The type of the protein name: 'Full', 'Short', 'EC' 'Allergen', 'CD_antigen', 'Biotech','INN'
DE RecName: Full=CAD protein;
DE Short=CAD;
Here the first name (DE object), is of type 'Full', the second one
is of type 'Short'
Type can be set/modified using type(string)
Note: with the old DE line format, this field is undef
addParen : (meaningful only with old DE line format) if set to true,
the name will be surrounded by parentheses, but not the evidence
tags, e.g. : '(UMP SYNTHASE){E1}'.
Each protein name (DE object) can have independent evidence tags.
DE SubName: Full=Histone H3{EI1};
DE EC=3.4.21.9{EC3};
DE AltName: Full=Enterokinase{EC5};
The following methods have their prototype defined in SWISS::BaseClass instead of the direct parent of SWISS::DEs, SWISS::ListBase :
addEvidenceTag
deleteEvidenceTags
getEvidenceTags
getEvidenceTagsString
hasEvidenceTag
setEvidenceTags
example :
$evidenceTag = $entry->Stars->EV->addEvidence('P', 'DEfix', '-', 'v1.3');
$entry->DEs->head->addEvidenceTag($evidenceTag);
The easiest way to read the evidence tags of a protein name is to use c<getEvidenceTagsString> that will return the evidence tags as a string with the enclosing {} brackets. If there are no evidence tags, will return an empty string.
Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:
=back doesn't take any parameters, but you said =back =head1 Methods
