Bio::SeqIO::game(3pm)

NAME
Bio::SeqIO::game -- a class for parsing and writing game-XML

SYNOPSIS
This module is not used directly, use SeqIO.

 use Bio::SeqIO;

 my $in = Bio::SeqIO->new ( -file    => 'file.xml',
                            -format  =>  'game',
                            -verbose => 1 );

 my $seq = $in->next_seq;

DESCRIPTION
Bio::SeqIO::game will parse game XML (version 1.2) or write game XML from a Bio::SeqI implementing object. The XML is readable by the genome annotation editor 'Apollo' (www.gmod.org). It is not backwards compatible with the previous version of game XML. The XML format currently used by Apollo contains a single 'main' annotated sequence, so we will only get a single annotated sequence in the stream when parsing a game-XML record.

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

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.

 Title   : write_seq
 Usage   : $seqio->write_seq($seq)

  _getseqs
 Title   : _getseqs
 Usage   : $self->_getseqs
 Function: An internal method to invoke the PerlSAX XML handler and get
           the sequence objects
