Bio::SeqIO::metafasta(User Contributed Perl DocumentatBio::SeqIO::metafasta(3)

NAME
       Bio::SeqIO::metafasta - metafasta sequence input/output stream

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

	 use Bio::SeqIO;

	 # read the metafasta file
	 $io = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => "test.metafasta",
			       -format => "metafasta" );

	 $seq = $io->next_seq;

DESCRIPTION
       This object can transform Bio::Seq::Meta objects to and from metafasta
       flat file databases.

       For sequence part the code is an exact copy of Bio::SeqIO::fasta
       module. The only added bits deal with meta data IO.

       The format of a metafasta file is

	 >test
	 ABCDEFHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
	 &charge
	 NBNAANCNJCNNNONNCNNUNNXNZ
	 &chemical
	 LBSAARCLJCLSMOIMCHHULRXRZ

       where the sequence block is followed by one or several meta blocks.
       Each meta block starts with the ampersand character '&' in the first
       column and is immediately followed by the name of the meta data which
       continues until the new line. The meta data follows it. All characters,
       except new line, are important in meta data.
