NAME

Bio::DB::Ace - Database object interface to ACeDB servers

SYNOPSIS

    $db = Bio::DB::Ace->new( -server => 'myace.server.com', port => '120000');
    $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('J00522'); # Unique ID
    # or ...
    $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('J00522'); # Accession Number

DESCRIPTION

This provides a standard BioPerl database access to Ace, using Lincoln Steins excellent AcePerl module. You need to download and install the aceperl module from

  http://stein.cshl.org/AcePerl/

before this interface will work.

This interface is designed at the moment to work through a aceclient/aceserver type mechanism

INSTALLING ACEPERL

Download the latest aceperl tar file, gunzip/untar and cd into the directory. This is a standard CPAN-style directory, so if you go

  Perl Makefile.PL
  make
  <become root>
  make install

Then you will have installed Aceperl. Use the PREFIX mechanism to install elsewhere.
