# Bio::Map::Prediction(3pm)

An object representing the predictions of something that can have multiple locations in several maps.

## NAME

Bio::Map::Prediction - An object representing the predictions of something that can have multiple locations in several maps.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Bio::Map::Prediction;
  use Bio::Map::Position;
  # normally you would get predictions from a run wrapper like
  # Bio::Tools::Run::Meme, but here we create some manually:
  my $pred1 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'meme');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                                                  -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
                                                                                 -species => 'species1'),
                                                  -start => 950,
                                                  -end => 960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
                                                                                 -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1950,
                          -end => 1960);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
                                                                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 955,
                          -end => 965);
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction1,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene2',
                                                                         -species => 'species2'),
                          -start => 1955,
                          -end => 1965);
  my $pred2 = Bio::Map::Prediction->new(-source => 'gerp');
  Bio::Map::Position->new(-element => $prediction2,
                          -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap->get(-gene => 'gene1',
                                                                                 -species => 'species1'),
                          -start => 950,
                          -end => 960);
  # etc.
  # find the places where predictions agree
  use Bio::Map::GeneRelative;
  my $rel = Bio::Map::GeneRelative->new(-gene => 0);
  my $di = Bio::Map::Mappable->disconnected_intersections([$pred1, $pred2],
                                                -min_mappables_percent => 100,
                                                -min_map_percent => 100,
                                                -relative => $rel);
  my @positions = $di->get_positions;
```

## DESCRIPTION

For example, used to model transcription factor binding site predictions, which can have multiple locations in several maps.

## FEEDBACK

### Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

```
  bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists
```

### Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

*bioperl-l@bioperl.org*

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and  reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly  address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem  with code and data examples if at all possible.

### Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
