[Bioperl-l] Whither Bio::FeatureIO?

[Fields, Christopher J]

It *might* be possible to set this up on Travis-CI independently on Bio::FeatureIO, which would be beneficial from a testing viewpoint (as we need to track what works w/ refactored FeatureIO vs what doesn’t).

I suppose what we need to check with a refactor (master branch) is:

1) Maintaining a sane amount of compat. with Chado.  ‘Sane' meaning Bio::SF::Annotated will need to be chucked or completely reimplemented from scratch, as it is much less than sane now
2) If needed having a concurrently developed version of Chado to make it work.

It may not require much on #2 if Chado isn’t reliant on some of the less API-friendly parts of Bio::SF::Annotated (namely the heavy annotation associated with it).

@scott, do you have test setup for the GMOD stuff?

Cool!  I guess I could probably announce this as being released at some point now :)

PS - I may have a decent test environment set up for longer-term evaluation, but it would be nice to see if we can get something working with travis-ci or a smoker setup, just so I can check whether the main branch refactoring is clobbering chado (as I suspect it is).

Hi All,

It took a while, but I was finally able to run my little litmus test and the good news is that it appears to pass.

I modified my ansible playbook that implements the steps described in INSTALL.Chado<https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gmod/svn/schema/trunk/chado/INSTALL.Chado> so that it uses the version of Bio::FeatureIO that is now on CPAN instead of pulling the github master.

The resulting installation ran to completion and then was able to load the yeast gff3 file:

cp /vagrant/saccharomyces_cerevisiae.gff .
gmod_gff3_preprocessor.pl<http://gmod_gff3_preprocessor.pl/> --gfffile saccharomyces_cerevisiae.gff --outfile saccharomyces_cerevisiae.sorted.gff
gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl<http://gmod_bulk_load_gff3.pl/> --organism yeast  --gfffile saccharomyces_cerevisiae.gff.sorted


and the resulting database seems to be stitched together reasonably (though I’m not a particularly informed judge of its character).

@chris thanks for the help on this!!!!

I can't do anything until Tuesday, but will be happy to run it through
the standard Chado build process when I get back to work.

Thanks for digging into it.
