18 =head1 NAME
20 Bio::SeqIO::pir - PIR sequence input/output stream
22 =head1 SYNOPSIS
24 Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.
26 =head1 DESCRIPTION
28 This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from pir flat
29 file databases.
31 Note: This does not completely preserve the PIR format - quality
32 information about sequence is currently discarded since bioperl
33 does not have a mechanism for handling these encodings in sequence
34 data.
36 =head1 FEEDBACK
38 =head2 Mailing Lists
40 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
41 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
42 of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.
44 bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion
45 http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists
47 =head2 Support
49 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
51 L<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
53 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
54 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
55 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
56 with code and data examples if at all possible.
58 =head2 Reporting Bugs
60 Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
61 the bugs and their resolution.
62 Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
