=head1 DESCRIPTION

TFBS::DB::JASPAR6 is a read/write database interface module that
retrieves and stores TFBS::Matrix::* and TFBS::MatrixSet
objects in a relational database. The interface is nearly identical
to the JASPAR2 and JASPAR4 interface, while the underlying data model is different


=head1 JASPAR6 DATA MODEL

JASPAR6 is working name for a relational database model used
for storing transcriptional factor pattern matrices in a MySQL database.
It was initially designed (JASPAR2) to store matrices for the JASPAR database of
high quality eukaryotic transcription factor specificity profiles by
Albin Sandelin and Wyeth W. Wasserman. Besides the profile matrix itself,
this data model stores profile ID (unique), name, structural class,
basic taxonomic and bibliographic information
as well as some additional, and custom, tags.

Here goes a moore thorough description on tables and IDs
    
    


-----------------------  ADVANCED  ---------------------------------

For the developers and the curious, here is the JASPAR6 data model:

  

MISSING TEXT HEER ON HOW IT WORKS


It is our best intention to hide the details of this data model, which we 
are using on a daily basis in our work, from most TFBS users.
Most users should only know the methods to store the data and 
which tags are supported.

=head2 get_Matrix_by_ID

 Title   : get_Matrix_by_ID
 Usage   : my $pfm = $db->get_Matrix_by_ID('M00034', 'PFM');
 Function: fetches matrix data under the given ID from the

 Returns : a TFBS::Matrix::* object; the exact type of the
	   object depending on what form the matrix is stored
	   in the database (PFM is default)
 Args    : (Matrix_ID)
	   Matrix_ID id is a string which refers to the stable 
           JASPAR ID (usually something like "MA0001") with 
           or without version numbers. "MA0001" will give the 
           latest version on MA0001, while "MA0001.2" will give
           the second version, if existing. Warnings will be 
           given for non-existing matrices.

=head2 get_Matrix_by_name

 Title   : get_Matrix_by_name
 Usage   : my $pfm = $db->get_Matrix_by_name('HNF-1');
 Function: fetches matrix data under the given name from the
	   database and returns a TFBS::Matrix::* object
 Returns : a TFBS::Matrix::* object; the exact type of the object
	   depending on what form the matrix object was stored in
	   the database (default PFM))
 Args    : (Matrix_name)
	   
 Warning : According to the current JASPAR6 data model, name is
	   not necessarily a unique identifier. Also, names change 
           over time. 
           In the case where
	   there are several matrices with the same name in the
	   database, the function fetches the first one and prints
	   a warning on STDERR. You've been warned.
           Some matrices have multiple versions. The function will 
           return the latest version. For specific versions, use 
           get_Matrix_by_ID($ID.$version)

}


=head2 get_MatrixSet

 Title   : get_MatrixSet
 Usage   : my $matrixset = $db->get_MatrixSet(%args);
 Function: fetches matrix data under for all matrices in the database
	   matching criteria defined by the named arguments
	   and returns a TFBS::MatrixSet object
 Returns : a TFBS::MatrixSet object
 Args    : This method accepts named arguments, corresponding to arbitrary tags, and also some utility functions
           Note that this is different from JASPAR2 and to some extent JASPAR4. As any tag is supported for
           database storage, any tag can be used for information retrieval.
           Additionally, arguments as 'name','class','collection' can be used (even though
           they are not tags.
           Per default, only the last version of the matrix is given. The only way to get older matrices out of this 
           to use an array of IDs with actual versions like MA0001.1, or set the argyment -all_versions=>1, in which  case you get all versions for each stable ID
									       

									       
           
	  Examples include:
 Fundamental matrix features
	-all # gives absolutely all matrix entry, regardless of versin and collection. Only useful for backup situations and sanity checks. Takes precedence over everything else
		
        -ID        # a reference to an array of stable IDs (strings), with or without version, as above. tyically something like "MA0001.2" . Takes precedence over everything salve -all		
 -name      # a reference to an array of
		       #  transcription factor names (string). Will only take latest version. NOT a preferred way to access since names change over time
	   -collection # a string corresponding to a JASPAR collection. Per default CORE      
	   -all_versions # gives all matrix versions that fit with rest of criteria, including obsolete ones.Is off per default. 
			 # Typical usage is in combiation with a stable IDs withou versions to get all versinos of a particular matrix		
          Typical tag queries:
	These can be either a string or a reference to an array of strings. If it is an arrau it will be interpreted as as an "or"s statement								       
	   -class    # a reference to an array of
		       #  structural class names (strings)
	   -species    # a reference to an array of
		       #   NCBI Taxonomy IDs (integers)
	   -taxgroup  # a reference to an array of
		       #  higher taxonomic categories (string)
	   								       
Computed features of the matrices	  
	   -min_ic     # float, minimum total information content
		       #   of the matrix. 
	-matrixtype    #string describing type of matrix to retrieve. If left out, the format
                        will revert to the database format, which is PFM.

The arguments that expect list references are used in database
query formulation: elements within lists are combined with 'OR'
operators, and the lists of different types with 'AND'. For example,

    my $matrixset = $db->(-class => ['TRP_CLUSTER', 'FORKHEAD'],
			  -species => ['Homo sapiens', 'Mus musculus'],
			  );

gives a set of TFBS::Matrix::PFM objects (given that the matrix models are stored as such)
 whose (structural clas is 'TRP_CLUSTER' OR'FORKHEAD') AND (the species they are derived
 from is 'Homo sapiens'OR 'Mus musculus').

As above, unless IDs with version numbers are used, only one matrix per stable ID wil be returned: the matrix with the highest version number 

The -min_ic filter is applied after the query in the sense that the
matrices profiles with total information content less than specified
are not included in the set.
