NAME

MS::CV - interface to HUPO PSI controlled vocabularies

SYNOPSIS

    use MS::CV qw/:MS :MOD :MI is_a regex_for units_for/;

    # use PSI terms directly as constants
    if ('MS:1000894' eq MS_RETENTION_TIME) {
        # do something
    }

    # check for child/parent relationships
    say "model param is valid!"
        if (is_a( MS_Q_TRAP, MS_INSTRUMENT_MODEL ));


    # PSI:MS conveniently provides cleavage regular expressions
    my $pep = 'PEPTIDERPEPTIDEKRAPPLE';
    my $re  = regex_for(MS_TRYPSIN);
    say $_ for split( $re, $pep );

DESCRIPTION

MS::CV provides a simple interface to the HUPO PSI controlled vocabularies. Currently the MS, MOD, and MI ontologies are indexed and available.

The module utilizes a functional interface for speed and simplicity. It's primarily functionality is to export sets of constants (one for each ontology) directly mapping the term names to ids.

CONSTANT NAMING

Constant names are autogenerated from the name field of the ontology OBO files. The rules for mapping are defined in the following code:

    my $symb = uc( $ontology . '_' . $term->{name} );
    $symb =~ s/\W/_/g;
    $symb =~ s/^(\d)/_$1/;

For example, the term "CRM spectrum" in the MS ontology becomes MS_CRM_SPECTRUM.

In addition, very rarely there are namespace collisions between terms after applying these transformations. In this case, increasing integer suffixes are appended to each colliding term. As of this writing, this only occurs for the following terms:

MOD_DESMOSINE

MOD:00949 ("desmosine") becomes MOD_DESMOSINE_1

MOD:01933 ("desmosine") becomes MOD_DESMOSINE_2

MI_TEXT_MINING

MI:0110 ("text mining") becomes MI_TEXT_MINING_1

MI:1056 ("text-mining") becomes MI_TEXT_MINING_2

MI_OPPOSING_EPISTASIS

MI:1276 ("opposing epistasis") becomes MI_OPPOSING_EPISTASIS_1

MI:1285 ("opposing epistasis") becomes MI_OPPOSING_EPISTASIS_2

FUNCTIONS

is_a

    if ( is_a( $child, $parent ) ) {
        say "model param is valid!";
    }

Takes two required arguments (child ID and parent ID) and returns a boolean value indicating whether the first term is a descendant of the second.

units_for

    my $valid_units = units_for( $term );

Takes one argument (a CV ID) and returns a reference to an array of valid unit terms from the Unit Ontology, or undef if no units are defined.

regex_for

    my $re = regex_for(MS_TRYPSIN);
    say $ for split( $re, $peptide );

Takes one argument (a CV ID representing a cleavage enzyme) and returns a regular expression that can be used to split a string based on the specificity of that enzyme.

cv_name

    my $name = cv_name( $term );

Takes one argument (a CV ID) and returns the text description of the term

print_tree

    print_tree ( 'MS' );

Takes one argument (a CV name) and prints a textual tree representation of the CV hierarchy to STDOUT (or the currently selected output filehandle). This is mainly of use for debugging the use of CV terms in your program, as it includes the constant name exported by this module for each term in the CV.
