NAME
Bio::SeqIO::ace - ace sequence input/output stream
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 ace file format. It only parses a DNA or Peptide objects contained in the ace file, producing PrimarySeq objects from them. All other objects in the files will be ignored. It doesn't attempt to parse any annotation attached to the containing Sequence or Protein objects, which would probably be impossible, since everyone's ACeDB schema can be different.
It won't parse ace files containing Timestamps correctly either. This can easily be added if considered necessary.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

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.
