NAME

Bio::SeqIO::chado - chado sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

It is probably best not to use this object directly, but rather go through the SeqIO handler system. Go:

    $stream = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => $filename, -format => 'chado');

    while ( my $seq = $stream->next_seq() ) {
	# do something with $seq
    }

DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from chado flat file databases. CURRENTLY ONLY TO

Optional functions

_show_dna()

(output only) shows the dna or not

_post_sort()

(output only) provides a sorting func which is applied to the FTHelpers before printing
