=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::MZEF - Results of one MZEF run

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   $mzef = Bio::Tools::MZEF->new(-file => 'result.mzef');
   # filehandle:
   $mzef = Bio::Tools::MZEF->new( -fh  => \*INPUT );
   # to indicate that the sequence was reversed prior to feeding it to MZEF
   # and that you want to have this reflected in the strand() attribute of 
   # the exons, as well have the coordinates translated to the non-reversed
   # sequence
   $mzef = Bio::Tools::MZEF->new( -file   => 'result.mzef',
                                  -strand => -1 );

   # parse the results
   # note: this class is-a Bio::Tools::AnalysisResult which implements
   # Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI, i.e., $genscan->next_feature() is the same
   while($gene = $mzef->next_prediction()) {
       # $gene is an instance of Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene

       # $gene->exons() returns an array of 
       # Bio::Tools::Prediction::Exon objects
       # all exons:
       @exon_arr = $gene->exons();

       # internal exons only
       @intrl_exons = $gene->exons('Internal');
       # note that presently MZEF predicts only internal exons!
   }

   # essential if you gave a filename at initialization (otherwise the file
   # will stay open)
   $mzef->close();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The MZEF module provides a parser for MZEF gene structure prediction
output.

This module inherits off L<Bio::Tools::AnalysisResult> and therefore
implements L<Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI>.

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

}

=head2 analysis_method

 Usage     : $mzef->analysis_method();
 Purpose   : Inherited method. Overridden to ensure that the name matches
             /mzef/i.
 Returns   : String
 Argument  : n/a

sub analysis_method { 
#-------------
    my ($self, $method) = @_;  
    if($method && ($method !~ /mzef/i)) {
	$self->throw("method $method not supported in " . ref($self));
    }
    return $self->SUPER::analysis_method($method);
}

=head2 next_feature

 Title   : next_feature
 Usage   : while($gene = $mzef->next_feature()) {
                  # do something
           }
 Function: Returns the next gene structure prediction of the MZEF result
           file. Call this method repeatedly until FALSE is returned.

           The returned object is actually a SeqFeatureI implementing object.
           This method is required for classes implementing the
           SeqAnalysisParserI interface, and is merely an alias for 
           next_prediction() at present.

           Note that with the present version of MZEF there will only be one
           object returned, because MZEF does not predict individual genes
           but just potential internal exons.
 Example :
 Returns : A Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene object.
 Args    :

=cut

sub next_feature {
    my ($self,@args) = @_;
    # even though next_prediction doesn't expect any args (and this method
    # does neither), we pass on args in order to be prepared if this changes
    # ever
    return $self->next_prediction(@args);
}

=head2 next_prediction

 Title   : next_prediction
 Usage   : while($gene = $mzef->next_prediction()) {
                  # do something
           }
 Function: Returns the next gene structure prediction of the MZEF result
           file. Call this method repeatedly until FALSE is returned.

           Note that with the present version of MZEF there will only be one
           object returned, because MZEF does not predict individual genes
           but just potential internal exons.
 Example :
 Returns : A Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene object.
 Args    :

=cut

sub next_prediction {
    my ($self) = @_;
    my $gene;

    # if the prediction section hasn't been parsed yet, we do this now
    $self->_parse_predictions() unless $self->_predictions_parsed();

    # return the next gene structure (transcript)
    return $self->_prediction();
}

=head2 _parse_predictions

 Title   : _parse_predictions()
 Usage   : $obj->_parse_predictions()
 Function: Parses the prediction section. Automatically called by
           next_prediction() if not yet done.
