Summary
Bio::SeqIO::pir - PIR sequence input/output stream
Package variables
No package variables defined.
Included modules
Bio::Seq::SeqFactory
Bio::SeqIO
Inherit
Bio::SeqIO
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 pir flat
file databases.
Note: This does not completely preserve the PIR format - quality
information about sequence is currently discarded since bioperl
does not have a mechanism for handling these encodings in sequence
data.

 Title   : next_seq
Usage : $seq = $stream->next_seq()
Function: returns the next sequence in the stream
Returns : Bio::Seq object
Args : NONE

 Title   : write_seq
Usage : $stream->write_seq(@seq)
Function: writes the $seq object into the stream
Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error
