Bio::SeqIO::tab(3)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   Bio::SeqIO::tab(3)

NAME
       Bio::SeqIO::tab - nearly raw sequence file input/output stream.
       Reads/writes id"\t"sequence"\n"

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

DESCRIPTION
       This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from tabbed flat file
       databases.

       It is very useful when doing large scale stuff using the Unix command
       line utilities (grep, sort, awk, sed, split, you name it). Imagine that
       you have a format converter 'seqconvert' along the following lines:

	 my $in	 = Bio::SeqIO->newFh(-fh => \*STDIN , '-format' => $from);
	 my $out = Bio::SeqIO->newFh(-fh=> \*STDOUT, '-format' => $to);
	 print $out $_ while <$in>;

       then you can very easily filter sequence files for duplicates as:

	 $ seqconvert < foo.fa -from fasta -to tab | sort -u |\
	      seqconvert -from tab -to fasta > foo-unique.fa

       Or grep [-v] for certain sequences with:

	 $ seqconvert < foo.fa -from fasta -to tab | grep -v '^S[a-z]*control' |\
	      seqconvert -from tab -to fasta > foo-without-controls.fa

       Or chop up a huge file with sequences into smaller chunks with:

	 $ seqconvert < all.fa -from fasta -to tab | split -l 10 - chunk-
	 $ for i in chunk-*; do seqconvert -from tab -to fasta < $i > $i.fa; done
	 # (this creates files chunk-aa.fa, chunk-ab.fa, ..., each containing 10
	 # sequences)

       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
