=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Seg - Object for identifying low complexity
  regions in a given protein seequence.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Build a Seg factory
  # $paramfile is the full path to the seg binary file
  my @params = ('PROGRAM',$paramfile);
  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Seg->new($param);

  # Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
  # @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
  my @feats = $factory->run($seq);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Seg is a low complexity region (in protein) identifying program
developed by Wootton and Federhen at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
