Bio::SeqIO::abi - abi trace sequence input/output stream
Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.
This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from abi trace files. To optionally read the trace graph data (which can be used to draw chromatographs, for instance), set the optional '-read_graph_data' flag or the read_graph_data method to a value evaluating to TRUE.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

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

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.
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : next_seq Usage : $seq = $stream->next_seq() Function: returns the next sequence in the stream Returns : Bio::Seq::Quality object Args : NONE
Title : write_seq Usage : $stream->write_seq(@seq) Function: writes the $seq object into the stream Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error Args : Bio::Seq object
Title : get_trace_data Usage : $stream->get_trace_data(1) Function: set boolean flag to retrieve the trace data (possibly for output) Returns : bool value, TRUE = retrieve trace data (default FALSE) Args : bool value
To install Bio::Seq, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
