NAME

       Bio::SearchIO::rnamotif - SearchIO-based RNAMotif parser

SYNOPSIS

         # do not call this module directly. Use Bio::SearchIO.

DESCRIPTION

       This is a highly experimental SearchIO-based parser for output from the rnamotif program
       (one of the programs in the RNAMotif suite). It currently parses only raw rnamotif output
       for RNAMotif versions 3.0 and above; older versions may work but will not be supported.
       rmfmt output will not be supported at this time.

FEEDBACK

   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.

   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.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

        Function: Get/Set descriptor name.  Some versions of RNAMotif do not add the

        Note    : Cannot be set along with hsp_minscore()

   structure_symbols
        Title   : structure_symbols
        Usage   : my $hashref = $parser->structure_symbols();
        Function: Get/Set RNA structure symbols
        Returns : Hash ref of delimiters (5' stem, 3' stem, single-strand, etc)
                : default = < (5-prime)

        Returns : array of sequence, meta strings
        Args    : Array of string data and descriptor data

        Note: This is currently a quick and simple way of making simple
        RNA structures (stem-loops, helices, etc) from RNAMotif descriptor
        data in the output file.  It does not currently work with pseudoknots,
        triplets, G-quartets, or other more complex RNA structural motifs.
