Bio::SeqIO::abi(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::SeqIO::abi(3pm)

NAME

Bio::SeqIO::abi - abi trace sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from abi trace files. To optionally read the trace graph data (which can be used to draw chromatographs, for instance), set the optional '-get_trace_data' flag or the get_trace_data method to a value evaluating to TRUE.
