NAME

Bio::FeatureIO::vecscreen_simple - read/write features from NCBI vecscreen -f 3 output

SYNOPSIS

# read features my $fin = Bio::FeatureIO->new(-file=>'vecscreen.out', -format=>'vecscreen_simple'); my @vec_regions; while (my $f = $fin->next_feature) { push @vec_regions, $f; }

# write features NOT IMPLEMENTED

DESCRIPTION

vecscreen is a system for quickly identifying segments of a nucleic acid sequence that may be of vector origin. NCBI developed vecscreen to minimize the incidence and impact of vector contamination in public sequence databases. GenBank Annotation Staff use vecscreen to verify that sequences submitted for inclusion in the database are free from contaminating vector sequence. Any sequence can be screened for vector contamination using vecscreen.

This module provides parsing for vecscreen '-f 3' output, described in the vecscreen documentation as 'Text list, no alignments'
