=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::msout - input stream for output by Hudson's ms 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

ms ( Hudson, R. R. (2002) Generating samples under a Wright-Fisher neutral
model. Bioinformatics 18:337-8 ) can be found at
http://home.uchicago.edu/~rhudson1/source/mksamples.html.

Currently, this object can be used to read output from ms into seq objects.
However, because bioperl has no support for haplotypes created using an infinite
sites model (where '1' identifies a derived allele and '0' identifies an
ancestral allele), the sequences returned by msout are coded using A, T, C and
G. To decode the bases, use the sequence conversion table (a hash) returned by
get_base_conversion_table(). In the table, 4 and 5 are used when the ancestry is
unclear. This should not ever happen when creating files with ms, but it will be
used when creating msOUT files from a collection of seq objects ( To be added
later ). Alternatively, use get_next_hap() to get a string with 1's and 0's
instead of a seq object.

=head2 Mapping to Finite Sites

This object can now also be used to map haplotypes created using an infinite sites
model to sequences of arbitrary finite length.  See set_n_sites() for more detail.
Thanks to Filipe G. Vieira <fgvieira@berkeley.edu> for the idea and code.

=head3 _initialize

Title   : _initialize
Usage   : $stream = Bio::SeqIO::msOUT->new($infile)
Function: extracts basic information about the file.
Returns : Bio::SeqIO object
Args    : no_og, gunzip, gzip, n_sites
Details	: 
    - include 'no_og' flag if the last population of an msout file contains
      only one haplotype and you don't want the last haplotype to be
      treated as the outgroup ( suggested when reading data created by ms ).
    - including 'n_sites' (positive integer) causes all output haplotypes to be
      mapped to a sequence of length 'n_sites'. See set_n_sites() for more details.

=head3 base_conversion_table

Title   : get_base_conversion_table
Usage   : $table_hash_ref = $stream->get_base_conversion_table()
Function: returns a reference to a hash.  The keys of the hash are the letters '
          A','T','G','C'. The values associated with each key are the value that
          each letter in the sequence of a seq object returned by a
          Bio::SeqIO::msout stream should be translated to.
Returns : reference to a hash
Args    : NONE  
Synopsis:
	
	# retrieve the Bio::Seq object's sequence
	my $haplotype = $seq->seq;
	
	# need to convert all letters to their corresponding numbers.
	foreach my $base (keys %{$rh_base_conversion_table}){
		$haplotype =~ s/($base)/$rh_base_conversion_table->{$base}/g;
	}
	
	# $haplotype is now an ms style haplotype. (e.g. '100101101455')
