NAME

Bio::AlignIO::largemultifasta - Largemultifasta MSA Sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::SimpleAlign objects to and from largemultifasta flat file databases. This is for the fasta sequence format NOT FastA analysis program. To process the pairwise alignments from a FastA (FastX, FastN, FastP, tFastA, etc) use the Bio::SearchIO module.

Reimplementation of Bio::AlignIO::fasta modules so that creates temporary files instead of keeping the whole sequences in memory.

FEEDBACK

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.

APPENDIX

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 while taking care
            of the length
  Returns : Bio::Seq object
  Args    : NONE
 
 

next_aln

  Title   : next_aln
  Usage   : $aln = $stream->next_aln()
  Function: returns the next alignment in the stream.
  Returns : L<Bio::Align::AlignI> object - returns 0 on end of file
             or on error
  Args    : NONE
 
 

write_aln

  Title   : write_aln
  Usage   : $stream->write_aln(@aln)
  Function: writes the $aln object into the stream in largemultifasta format
  Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error
  Args    : L<Bio::Align::AlignI> object
