NAME
Bio::SeqIO::agave - AGAVE sequence output stream.
SYNOPSIS
It is probably best not to use this object directly, but rather go through the SeqIO
handler system. Go:
$in = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => "$file_in",
'-format' => 'EMBL');
$out = Bio::SeqIO->new('-file' => ">$file_out",
'-format' => 'AGAVE');
while (my $seq = $in->next_seq){
$out->write_seq($seq);
}
DESCRIPTION
This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to agave xml file and vice-versa. I (Simon)
coded up this module because I needed a parser to extract data from AGAVE xml to be
utitlized by the GenQuire genome annotation system (See
http://www.bioinformatics.org/Genquire).
***NOTE*** At the moment, not all of the tags are implemented. In general, I followed the
output format for the XEMBL project http://www.ebi.ac.uk/xembl/
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 one of the Bioperl mailing lists. 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.
