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.

       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.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution.

        Args    : none

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