Bio::AlignIO::emboss - Parse EMBOSS alignment output (from applications water
and needle)
# do not use the object directly
use Bio::AlignIO;
# read in an alignment from the EMBOSS program water
my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'emboss',
-file => 'seq.water');
while( my $aln = $in->next_aln ) {
# do something with the alignment
}
This object handles parsing and writing pairwise sequence alignments from the
EMBOSS suite.
