NAME

Wrapper for Primate, Guy Slater's near exact match finder for short sequence tags.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Tools::Run::Primate;
use Bio::SeqIO;

my $query = "primer.fa";
my $target = "contig.fa";

my @params = ("query" => $query,"target" => $target,"m"=>0);
my $fact = Bio::Tools::Run::Primate->new(@params);

my @feat = $fact->run;
foreach my $feat(@feat) {
    print $feat->seqname."\t".$feat->primary_tag."\t".$feat->start.
    "\t".$feat->end."\t".$feat->strand."\t".$feat->seq->seq."\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

Primate is available under to ensembl-nci package at http://cvsweb.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ensembl-nci/?cvsroot=Ensembl
