NAME

Bio::SeqIO::game -- a class for parsing and writing game-XML

SYNOPSIS

This module is not used directly, use SeqIO.

use Bio::SeqIO;

my $in = Bio::SeqIO->new ( -file    => 'file.xml', 
                           -format  =>  'game',
                           -verbose => 1 );

my $seq = $in->next_seq;

DESCRIPTION

Bio::SeqIO::game will parse game XML (version 1.2) or write game XML from a Bio::SeqI implementing object. The XML is readable by the genome annotation editor 'Apollo' (www.gmod.org). It is not backwards compatible with the previous version of game XML. The XML format currently used by Apollo contains a single 'main' annotated sequence, so we will only get a single annotated sequence in the stream when parsing a game-XML record.
