=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::OddCodes - Object holding alternative alphabet coding for 
one protein sequence

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Take a sequence object from eg, an inputstream, and creates an object
for the purposes of rewriting that sequence in another alphabet.
These are abbreviated amino acid sequence alphabets, designed to
simplify the statistical aspects of analysing protein sequences, by
reducing the combinatorial explosion of the 20-letter alphabet.  These
abbreviated alphabets range in size from 2 to 8.

Creating the OddCodes object, eg:

	my $inputstream = Bio::SeqIO->new( '-file' => "seqfile", 
                                           '-format' => 'Fasta');
	my $seqobj = $inputstream->next_seq();
	my $oddcode_obj = Bio::Tools::Oddcodes->new(-seq => $seqobj);

or:

	my $seqobj = Bio::PrimarySeq->new
              (-seq=>'[cut and paste a sequence here]',
               -alphabet => 'protein',
               -id => 'test');
	my $oddcode_obj  =  Bio::Tools::OddCodes->new(-seq => $seqobj);

do the alternative coding, returning the answer as a reference to a string

	my $output = $oddcode_obj->structural();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->chemical();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->functional();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->charge();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->hydrophobic();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->Dayhoff();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->Sneath();
	my $output = $oddcode_obj->Stanfel();


display sequence in new form, eg:

	my $new_coding = $$output;
	print "\n$new_coding";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Bio::Tools::Oddcodes is a welterweight object for rewriting a protein
sequence in an alternative alphabet.  8 of these are provided, ranging
from the the 2-letter hydrophobic alphabet, to the 8-letter chemical
alphabet.  These are useful for the statistical analysis of protein
sequences since they can partially avoid the combinatorial explosion
produced by the full 20-letter alphabet (eg. 400 dimers, 8000 trimers
etc.)

The objects will print out a warning if the input sequence is not a
protein. If you know what you are doing, you can silence the warning
by setting verbose() to a negetive value.

See Synopsis above for object creation code.
