NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Prints - PRINTS fingerprint identification algorithm

SYNOPSIS

         Build a Prints factory

         my @params = ('DB',$dbfile);
         my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Prints->new($params);

         # Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
         # @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
         my @feats = $factory->run($seq);

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

       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.
