=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::ace - ace sequence input/output stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and
from ace file format.  It only parses a DNA or
Peptide objects contained in the ace file,
producing PrimarySeq objects from them.  All
other objects in the files will be ignored.  It
doesn't attempt to parse any annotation attatched
to the containing Sequence or Protein objects,
which would probably be impossible, since
everyone's ACeDB schema can be different.

It won't parse ace files containing Timestamps
correctly either.  This can easily be added if
considered necessary.
