Bio::SimpleAlign - Multiple alignments held as a set of sequences
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Use Bio::AlignIO to read in the alignment
$str = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file => 't/data/testaln.pfam');
$aln = $str->next_aln();
# Describe
print $aln->length;
print $aln->no_residues;
print $aln->is_flush;
print $aln->no_sequences;
print $aln->score;
print $aln->percentage_identity;
print $aln->consensus_string(50);
# Find the position in the alignment for a sequence location
$pos = $aln->column_from_residue_number('1433_LYCES', 14); # = 6;
# Extract sequences and check values for the alignment column $pos
foreach $seq ($aln->each_seq) {

# Manipulate
$aln->remove_seq($seq);
$mini_aln = $aln->slice(20,30); # get a block of columns

=head1 DESCRIPTION
SimpleAlign is an object that handles a multiple sequence alignment
(MSA). It is very permissive of types (it does not insist on sequences
being all same length, for example). Think of it as a set of sequences
with a whole series of built-in manipulations and methods for reading and
writing alignments.
SimpleAlign uses L<Bio::LocatableSeq>, a subclass of L<Bio::PrimarySeq>,
to store its sequences. These are subsequences with a start and end
positions in the parent reference sequence. Each sequence in the
SimpleAlign object is a Bio::LocatableSeq.
SimpleAlign expects the combination of name, start, and end for a
given sequence to be unique in the alignment, and this is the key for the
internal hashes (name, start, end are abbreviated C<nse> in the code).
However, in some cases people do not want the name/start-end to be displayed:
either multiple names in an alignment or names specific to the alignment
(ROA1_HUMAN_1, ROA1_HUMAN_2 etc). These names are called
C<displayname>, and generally is what is used to print out the
alignment. They default to name/start-end.
The SimpleAlign Module is derived from the Align module by Ewan Birney.

=head2 consensus_iupac
Title : consensus_iupac
Usage : $str = $ali->consensus_iupac()
Function : Makes a consensus using IUPAC ambiguity codes from DNA
and RNA. The output is in upper case except when gaps in
a column force output to be in lower case.
Note that if your alignment sequences contain a lot of
IUPAC ambiquity codes you often have to manually set
alphabet. Bio::PrimarySeq::_guess_type thinks they
indicate a protein sequence.
Returns : consensus string

=head1 Alignment positions
Methods to map a sequence position into an alignment column and back.

property of the sequence object and can done using
L<Bio::LocatableSeq::location_from_column>:
# select somehow a sequence from the alignment, e.g.

#$loc is undef or Bio::LocationI object

=head2 column_from_residue_number
Title : column_from_residue_number
Usage : $col = $ali->column_from_residue_number( $seqname, $resnumber)
Function: This function gives the position in the alignment
(i.e. column number) of the given residue number in the
sequence with the given name. For example, for the
alignment
Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.GH.
Seq2/24-30 ACGG.RTY...
Seq3/43-51 AC.DDEF.GHI
column_from_residue_number( "Seq1", 94 ) returns 6.
column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 25 ) returns 2.
column_from_residue_number( "Seq3", 50 ) returns 10.
An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie
outside the length of the aligment
(e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 )
Note: If the the parent sequence is represented by more than
one alignment sequence and the residue number is present in
them, this method finds only the first one.
Returns : A column number for the position in the alignment of the
given residue in the given sequence (1 = first column)
Args : A sequence id/name (not a name/start-end)
A residue number in the whole sequence (not just that
segment of it in the alignment)
