blast_rod_finder.pl                                       07-11-2011

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<perl blast_rod_finder.pl -q query.embl -r blastn.out -m 2000>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script is intended to identify region of differences (RODs)
between a nucleotide query and a nucleotide subject/reference sequence.
In order to do so, a BLASTN (L<http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi>)
needs to be performed beforehand with the query and the subject sequences.
I<blast_rod_finder.pl> is mainly designed to work with bacterial genomes,
while a query genome can be blasted against several subject sequences to
detect RODs over a number of references. Although the results are
optimized towards a complete query genome, both the reference(s) as well
as the query can be used in draft form. To create artificial genomes use
I<cat_seq.pl> or the EMBOSS application union (L<http://emboss.sourceforge.net/>).

The BLASTN report file, the query sequence file (preferably in embl or
genbank format with annotation, see below) and a minimum size for ROD
detection have to be provided for I<blast_rod_finder.pl> to run.
Subsequently, RODs are summarized in a tab-separated result file, a gff3
(usable e.g. in Artemis/DNAPlotter,
L<http://www.sanger.ac.uk/resources/software/artemis/>) and a BRIG
(BLAST Ring Image Generator, L<http://brig.sourceforge.net/>) output file.
Nucleotide sequences of each ROD are written to a multi-fasta file.

The query sequence can be provided in embl or genbank format, but has to
correspond to the fasta file used in querying the BLAST database (the
accession numbers have to correspond to the fasta headers). Use
I<seq_format-converter.pl> to create a corresponding fasta file from 
embl|genbank files for BLASTN if needed. With annotated query files
additional info is given in the result summary and the amino acid
sequences of all non-pseudo CDSs, which are contained or overlap a ROD,
are written to a result file. Furthermore, all detected RODs are saved in
individual sequence files in the corresponding query sequence format.

Run BLASTN and the script I<blast_rod_finder.pl> manually or use the bash
shell scripts I<blast_rod_finder*.sh> (see examples below) to perform the
pipeline consecutively in one folder.

The Perl script runs on BioPerl (L<http://www.bioperl.org>).

=head1 OPTIONS

=back

=head1 OUTPUT

=over 17

=item F<./results>

All output files are stored in this result folder

=item F<rod_summary.txt>

Summary of detected ROD regions (for embl/genbank queries includes annotation), tab-separated

=item F<rod.gff>

GFF3 file with ROD coordinates to use in Artemis/DNAPlotter etc.

=item F<rod_BRIG.txt>

ROD coordinates to use in BRIG (BLAST Ring Image Generator), tab-separated

=item F<rod_seq.fasta> 

Nucleotide sequences of ROD regions (>ROD# size start..stop), multi-fasta

=item (F<rod_aa_fasta.txt>)

Only present if query is given with annotation, i.e. embl|genbank format

Amino acid sequences of all CDSs that are contained in or overlap a ROD region
in multi-fasta format (>locus_tag gene product). RODs are seperated in the file via
'~~' (~~ROD# size start..stop).

=item (F<ROD#.embl|gbk>)

Only present if query is given with annotation, i.e. embl|genbank format.

Each identified ROD is written to an individual sequence file (in the same format
as the query).
