NAME

       Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder - a parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output

SYNOPSIS

           use Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder;

           # create parser
           my $parser = Bio::Tools::Bio::Tools::TandemRepeatsFinder->new(-file => 'tandem_repeats.out');

           # loop through results
           while( my $feature = $parser->next_result ) {

               # print the source sequence id, start, end, percent matches, and the consensus sequence
               my ($percent_matches)    = $feat->get_tag_values('percent_matches');
               my ($consensus_sequence) = $feat->get_tag_values('consensus_sequence');
               print $feat->seq_id()."\t".$feat->start()."\t".$feat->end()."\t$percent_matches\t$consensus_sequence\n";

           }

DESCRIPTION

       A parser for Tandem Repeats Finder output.  Written and tested for version 4.00

       Location, seq_id, and score are stored in Bio::SeqFeature::Generic feature.  All other
       data is stored in tags.  The availabale tags are

               period_size
               copy_number
               consensus_size
               percent_matches
               percent_indels
               percent_a
               percent_c
               percent_g
               percent_t
               entropy
               consensus_sequence
               repeat_sequence
               run_parameters
               sequence_description

       The run_parameters are stored in a hashref with the following key:

               match_weight
               mismatch_weight
               indel_weight
               match_prob
               indel_prob
               min_score
               max_period_size

   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:
