NAME

Bio::SearchIO::axt - a parser for axt format reports

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::SearchIO;
my $parser = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'axt',
                               -file   => 't/data/report.blastz');
while( my $result = $parser->next_result ) {
  while( my $hit = $result->next_hit ) {
    while( my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp ) {
    }
  }
}

DESCRIPTION

This is a parser and event-generator for AXT format reports. BLASTZ reports (Schwartz et al,(2003) Genome Research, 13:103-107) are normally in LAV format but are commonly post-processed to AXT format; many precomputed BLASTZ reports, such as those found in the UCSC Genome Browser, are in AXT format. This parser will also parse any AXT format produced from any lav report and directly out of BLAT.
