Bio::SeqIO::ace - ace sequence input/output stream Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class. 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.

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. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://www.bioperl.org/MailList.shtml - About the mailing lists

Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ Email: jgrg@sanger.ac.uk The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

next_seq
Title : next_seq Usage : $seq = $stream->next_seq() Function: returns the next sequence in the stream Returns : Bio::Seq object Args : NONE

write_seq
Title : write_seq Usage : $stream->write_seq(@seq) Function: writes the $seq object into the stream Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error Args : Bio::Seq object(s)
