NAME

Bio::SearchIO::exonerate - parser for Exonerate

SYNOPSIS

# do not use this module directly, it is a driver for SearchIO

use Bio::SearchIO;
my $searchio = new Bio::SearchIO(-file => 'file.exonerate',
                                 -format => 'exonerate');


while( my $r = $searchio->next_result ) {
  print $r->query_name, "\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This is a driver for the SearchIO system for parsing Exonerate (Guy Slater) output. You can get Exonerate at http://cvsweb.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/exonerate/?cvsroot=Ensembl [until Guy puts up a Web reference,publication for it.]).

An optional parameter -min_intron is supported by the new initialization method. This is if you run Exonerate with a different minimum intron length (default is 30) the parser will be able to detect the difference between standard deletions and an intron. Still some room to play with there that might cause this to get misinterpreted that has not been fully tested or explored.
