NAME

Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::MinimumPhredFilter - A filter that validates sequences based on minimum Phred score.

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::MinimumPhredFilter;
  $filter = new Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::MinimumPhredFilter->new( 20 );

DESCRIPTION

This module is a concrete subclass of Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::Filter. The implementation considers a sequence valid if all nucleotides have a Phred score that exceeds that specified for the filter.

INSTALLATION

Included with Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing.

PREREQUISITES

This module requires the Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::Filter package.

CHANGES

  1.10 2004.06.19 - Initial release.
  0.01 2004.05.02 - prototype

CLASS METHODS

new $minPhred

Constructor.

Arguments

$minPhred

  The minimum phred value that all nucleotides in a
  sequence must have in order to be considered valid.

Usage

  my $filter = Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::MinimumPhredFilter->new( 20 );
  if( $filter->is_tag_valid( "AAAAAAAAAA" ) ) {
      print "VALID!\n";
  }

INSTANCE METHODS

is_valid $sequence, $scores

This implements the is_valid subroutine required in concrete subclasses of Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::Filter.

Arguments

$sequence

  The tag sequence.

$scores

  A space-separated string of Phred scores for the
  specified sequence.

Returns

  Returns non-zero if the valid, zero if invalid.

Usage

  my $filter = Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::MinimumPhredFilter->new();
  if( $filter->is_tag_valid( "AAAAAAAAAA" ) ) {
      print "VALID!\n";
  }

compare $scores1, $scores2

The default implementation provided by the base class Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing::Filter is used. See the documentation for the base class for more information.
