NAME

Bio::AlignIO::maf - Multiple Alignment Format sequence input stream

SYNOPSIS

  Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::AlignIO class.
 
  use Bio::AlignIO;
 
  my $alignio = Bio::AlignIO->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -format => 'maf');
 
  while(my $aln = $alignio->next_aln()){
    my $match_line = $aln->match_line;
 
    print $aln, "\n";
 
    print $aln->length, "\n";
    print $aln->num_residues, "\n";
    print $aln->is_flush, "\n";
    print $aln->num_sequences, "\n";
 
    $aln->splice_by_seq_pos(1);
 
    print $aln->consensus_string(60), "\n";
    print $aln->get_seq_by_pos(1)->seq, "\n";
    print $aln->match_line(), "\n";
 
    print "\n";
  }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This class constructs Bio::SimpleAlign objects from an MAF-format multiple alignment file.

Writing in MAF format is currently unimplemented.

Spec of MAF format is here:
