SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Assembly::IO;

$in  = Bio::Assembly::IO->new(-file=>"<inputfilename",
                              -format=>'phrap');
$out = Bio::Assembly::IO->new(-file=>">outputfilename",
                              -format=>'phrap');

while ( my $scaffold = $in->next_assembly() ) {
   # do something with Bio::Assembly::Scaffold instance
   # ...
   $out->write_assembly(-scaffold => $scaffold);
}

$in->close;
$out->close;

DESCRIPTION

Bio::Assembly::IO is a handler module for formats in the Assembly::IO set (e.g. Bio::Assembly::IO::phrap).

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : $stream = Bio::Assembly::IO->new( -file   => $filename,
                                            -format =>'format'    )
Function: Returns a new assembly stream
Returns : A Bio::Assembly::IO::Handler initialised
          with the appropriate format
Args    : -file   => $filename
          -format => format

format

Title   : format
Usage   : $format = $stream->format()
Function: Get the assembly format
Returns : assembly format
Args    : none

next_assembly

Title   : next_assembly
Usage   : $scaffold = $stream->next_assembly()
Function: Reads the next assembly object from the stream and returns it.
Returns : a Bio::Assembly::ScaffoldI compliant object
Args    : none

next_contig

Title   : next_contig
Usage   : $contig = $stream->next_contig()
Function: Reads the next contig or singlet from the stream and returns it.
Returns : a Bio::Assembly::Contig or Bio::Contig::Assembly::Singlet
Args    : none

write_assembly

Title   : write_assembly
Usage   : $stream->write_assembly($assembly)
Function: Write the assembly object in desired format. This method calls
          write_header(), write_contigs() and write_footer() internally.
Returns : 1 on success, 0 for error
Args    : A Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object

write_header

Title   : write_header
Usage   : $stream->write_header($assembly)
Function: Write the start of the assembly file. It can be called at any time,
          not when starting to write the assembly file. 
Returns : 1 on success, 0 for error
Args    : A Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object or ... (check the specific format
          driver for more details)

write_contig

Title   : write_contig
Usage   : $stream->write_contig($contig)
Function: Write a contig object in the desired format.
Returns : 1 on success, 0 for error
Args    : A Bio::Assembly::Contig object
Title   : write_footer
Usage   : $stream->write_footer($assembly)
Function: Write the start of the assembly file.
Returns : 1 on success, 0 for error
Args    : A Bio::Assembly::Scaffold object or ... (check the specific format
          driver for more details)

_load_format_module

Title   : _load_format_module
Usage   : *INTERNAL Assembly::IO stuff*
Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand
Example :
Returns :
Args    :

_guess_format

Title   : _guess_format
Usage   : $obj->_guess_format($filename)
Function: guess format based on file suffix
Example :
Returns : guessed format of filename (lower case)
Args    :
Notes   : formats that _filehandle() will guess includes
          ace, phrap and tigr at the moment

_sort

Title   : _sort
Usage   : @sorted_values = $ass_io->_sort(@values)
Function: Sort a list of values naturally if Sort::Naturally is installed
          (nicer), lexically otherwise (not as nice, but safe)
Returns : array of sorted values
Args    : array of values to sort
