Bio::Tools::Seg(3)

NAME
Bio::Tools::Seg - parse "seg" output

SYNOPSIS
  use Bio::Tools::Seg;
  my $parser = Bio::Tools::Seg->(-file => 'seg.fasta');
  while ( my $f = $parser->next_result ) {
    if ($f->score < 1.5) {
      print $f->location->to_FTstring, " is low complexity\n";
    }
  }

DESCRIPTION
"seg" identifies low-complexity regions on a protein sequence. It is usually part of the "WU-BLAST" and "InterProScan" packages.

The Bio::Tools::Seg module will only parse the "fasta" output modes of "seg", i.e. "seg -l" (low complexity regions only), "seg -h" (high complexity regions only), or "seg -a" (both low and high).

It creates a Bio::SeqFeature::Generic for each FASTA-like entry found in the input file. It is up to the user to appropriately filter these using the feature's score.

FEEDBACK

  Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

  Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
