=head1 NAME

Bio::Align::AlignI - An interface for describing sequence alignments.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # get a Bio::Align::AlignI somehow - typically using Bio::AlignIO system
  # some descriptors
  print $aln->length, "\n";
  print $aln->num_residues, "\n";
  print $aln->is_flush, "\n";
  print $aln->num_sequences, "\n";
  print $aln->percentage_identity, "\n";
  print $aln->consensus_string(50), "\n";

  # 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) {
      $res = $seq->subseq($pos, $pos);
      $count{$res}++;
  }
  foreach $res (keys %count) {
      printf "Res: %s  Count: %2d\n", $res, $count{$res};
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This interface describes the basis for alignment objects.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 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.

=head2 Support

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

I<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.

 Returns   : An gap_char string, defaults to '-'
 Argument  : An gap_char string (optional)

=cut

sub gap_char {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 symbol_chars

 Title   : symbol_chars
 Usage   : my @symbolchars = $aln->symbol_chars;
 Function: Returns all the seen symbols (other than gaps)
 Returns : array of characters that are the seen symbols
 Argument: boolean to include the gap/missing/match characters

=cut

sub symbol_chars{

=head1 Alignment descriptors

These read only methods describe the MSE in various ways.


=head2 consensus_string

 Title     : consensus_string
 Usage     : $str = $ali->consensus_string($threshold_percent)
 Function  : Makes a strict consensus
 Returns   : consensus string
 Argument  : Optional threshold ranging from 0 to 100.
             The consensus residue has to appear at least threshold %
             of the sequences at a given location, otherwise a '?'
             character will be placed at that location.
             (Default value = 0%)

=cut

sub consensus_string {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->throw_not_implemented();
}

=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
 Argument  : none
 Throws    : on protein sequences


=cut

sub consensus_iupac {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->throw_not_implemented();
}

 Usage     : if( $ali->is_flush() )
           :
           :
 Function  : Tells you whether the alignment
           : is flush, ie all of the same length
           :
           :
 Returns   : 1 or 0
 Argument  :

=cut

sub is_flush {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->throw_not_implemented();

 Returns : The percentage identity of the alignment (as defined by the
	   implementation)
 Argument: None

=head2 overall_percentage_identity

=head1 Alignment positions

Methods to map a sequence position into an alignment column and back.
column_from_residue_number() does the former. The latter is really a
property of the sequence object and can done using
L<Bio::LocatableSeq::location_from_column>:

    # select somehow a sequence from the alignment, e.g.
    my $seq = $aln->get_seq_by_pos(1);
    #$loc is undef or Bio::LocationI object
    my $loc = $seq->location_from_column(5);


=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.DDEFGHI

           column_from_residue_number( "Seq1", 94 ) returns 6.
           column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 25 ) returns 2.
           column_from_residue_number( "Seq3", 50 ) returns 9.

           An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie
           outside the length of the alignment
           (e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 )

	  Note: If 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)

=cut

sub column_from_residue_number {
    my ($self) = @_;
    $self->throw_not_implemented();
}
