Bio::Tools::Run::Tmhmm(3) Object for identifying transmembrane helixes

SYNOPSIS


# Build a Tmhmm factory
# $paramfile is the full path to the seg binary file
my @params = ('PROGRAM',$paramfile);
my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Tmhmm->new($param);
# Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
# @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
my @feats = $factory->run($seq);

DESCRIPTION

Tmhmm is a program for identifying transmembrane helices in proteins.

You must have the environmental variable TMHMMDIR set to the base directory where tmhmm and it's associated data/option files reside (NOT the bin directory where the actual executable resides)

APPENDIX

 The rest of the documentation details each of the object
 methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

 Title   : program_name
 Usage   : $factory>program_name()
 Function: holds the program name
 Returns:  string
 Args    : None

program_dir

 Title   : program_dir
 Usage   : $factory->program_dir(@params)
 Function: returns the program directory, obtained from ENV variable, in this
           case it is the tmhmm installation directory, not the location of
           the executable.
 Returns:  string
 Args    :

 Usage   :   DEPRECATED Use $obj->run($seq) instead
 Function:   Runs Tmhmm and creates an array of featrues
 Returns :   An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
 Args    :   A Bio::PrimarySeqI

executable

 Title   : executable
 Usage   : my $exe = $tmhmm->executable('tmhmm');
 Function: Finds the full path to the 'tmhmm' executable
