"""Bio.SearchIO parser for BLAT output formats.

This module adds support for parsing BLAT outputs. BLAT (BLAST-Like Alignment
Tool) is a sequence similarity search program initially built for annotating
the human genome.

Bio.SearchIO.BlastIO was tested using standalone BLAT version 34, psLayout
version 3. It should be able to parse psLayout version 4 without problems.

More information on BLAT is available from these sites:

Supported Formats
=================

BlatIO supports parsing, indexing, and writing for both PSL and PSLX output
formats, with or without header. To parse, index, or write PSLX files, use the
'pslx' keyword argument and set it to True.

    # blat-psl defaults to PSL files
    >>> from Bio import SearchIO
    >>> psl = 'Blat/psl_34_004.psl'
    >>> qresult = SearchIO.read(psl, 'blat-psl')
    >>> qresult
    QueryResult(id='hg19_dna', 10 hits)

    # set the pslx flag to parse PSLX files
    >>> pslx = 'Blat/pslx_34_004.pslx'
    >>> qresult = SearchIO.read(pslx, 'blat-psl', pslx=True)
    >>> qresult
    QueryResult(id='hg19_dna', 10 hits)

For parsing and indexing, you do not need to specify whether the file has a
header or not. For writing, if you want to write a header, you can set the
'header' keyword argument to True. This will write a 'psLayout version 3' header
to your output file.

    from Bio import SearchIO
    qresult = SearchIO.read(psl, 'blat-psl')
    SearchIO.write(qresult, 'header.psl', header=True)
    <stdout> (1, 10, 19, 23)

Note that the number of HSPFragments written may exceed the number of HSP
objects. This is because in PSL files, it is possible to have single matches
consisting of noncontiguous sequence fragments. This is where the HSPFragment
object comes into play. These fragments are grouped into a single HSP because
they share the same statistics (e.g. match numbers, BLAT score, etc.). However,
they do not share the same sequence attributes, such as the start and end
coordinates, making them distinct objects.

In addition to parsing PSL(X) files, BlatIO also computes the percent identities
and scores of your search results. This is done using the calculation formula
posted here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQblat.html#blat4. It mimics the score
and percent identity calculation done by UCSC's web BLAT service.

Since BlatIO parses the file in a single pass, it expects all results from
the same query to be in consecutive rows. If the results from one query are
spread in nonconsecutive rows, BlatIO will consider them to be separate
QueryResult objects.

In most cases, the PSL(X) format uses the same coordinate system as Python
(zero-based, half open). These coordinates are anchored on the plus strand.
However, if the query aligns on the minus strand, BLAT will anchor the qStarts
coordinates on the minus strand instead. BlatIO is aware of this, and will
re-anchor the qStarts coordinates to the plus strand whenever it sees a minus
strand query match. Conversely, when you write out to a PSL(X) file, BlatIO will
reanchor qStarts to the minus strand again.

BlatIO provides the following attribute-column mapping:
