SYNOPSIS

Examines FASTA-formatted sequence data for simple sequence repeats (SSRs).

    use Bio::SSRTool;

EXPORT

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

find_ssr

    my $ssr_tool = Bio::SSRTool->new();
    my @ssrs = $ssr_tool->find_ssr( $seq, { min_repeats => 10 } );

Or:

    use Bio::SSRTool 'find_ssr';

    my @ssrs = find_ssr( $fh, { motif_length => 'trimer' } );

The "find_ssr" routine expects a sequence string in FASTA format (or a filehandle to read a FASTA file) and an optional hash-ref of arguments including:

min_repeats

A positive integer

motif_length

A positive integer between 1 and 10. Default is 4.
