NAME

WWW::Search::HGNC - Access HGNC's database of proteins

SYNOPSIS

  use WWW::Search;
  my $search = new WWW::Search('HGNC');

  my @hgnc_ids = [ 9092, 12043 ];
  $search->native_query( \@hgnc_ids );

  while( my $prot = $search->next_result ) {
    printf "Approved symbol: %s\n", $prot->{approved_symbol};
    printf "Approved name: %s\n", $prot->{approved_name};
    printf "HGNC ID: %s\n", $prot->{hgnc_id};
    # ... etc.
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) database of human proteins (http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/).

If you are unfamiliar with the WWW::Search interface, see the synopsis for an example of how you might use this module. As its first argument, the native_query method accepts either an HGNC ID or a reference to an array of such IDs. Results returned by the next_result method (named $prot above) are WWW::SearchResult objects containing data about the target protein. Each result contains the following fields.
