Bio::SeqIO::locuslink(User Contributed Perl DocumentatBio::SeqIO::locuslink(3)NAMEBio::SeqIO::locuslink - LocusLink input/output stream
SYNOPSIS
# don't instantiate directly - instead do
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => "locuslink", -file => \STDIN);
DESCRIPTION
This module parses LocusLink into Bio::SeqI objects with rich
annotation, but no sequence.
The input file has to be in the LL_tmpl format - the tabular format
will not work.
The way the current implementation populates the object is rather a
draft work than a finished work of art. Note that at this stage the
LocusLink entries cannot be round-tripped, because the parser loses
certain information. For instance, most of the alternative transcript
descriptions are not retained. The parser also misses any element that
deals with visual representation (e.g., 'button') except for the URLs.
Almost all of the pieces of the annotation are kept in a
Bio::Annotation::Collection object, see Bio::Annotation::Collection for
more information.
