Bio::Restriction::IO - Handler for sequence variation IO Formats
use Bio::Restriction::IO; $in = Bio::Restriction::IO->new(-file => "inputfilename" , -format => 'withrefm'); my $res = $in->read; # a Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection
Bio::Restriction::IO is a handler module for the formats in the Restriction IO set, e.g. Bio::Restriction::IO::xxx. It is the officially sanctioned way of getting at the format objects, which most people should use.
Bio::Restriction::IO::xxx
The structure, conventions and most of the code is inherited from Bio::SeqIO. The main difference is that instead of using methods next_seq, you drop _seq from the method name.
next_seq
_seq
Also, instead of dealing only with individual Bio::Restriction::Enzyme objects, read() will slurp in all enzymes into a Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection object.
read()
For more details, see documentation in Bio::SeqIO.
At the moment, these can be use mainly to get a custom set if enzymes in withrefm or itype2 formats into Bio::Restriction::Enzyme or Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection objects. Using bairoch format is highly experimental and is not recommmended at this time.
withrefm
itype2
bairoch
This class inherits from Bio::SeqIO for convenience sake, though this should inherit from Bio::Root::Root. Get rid of Bio::SeqIO inheritance by copying relevant methods in.
write() methods are currently not implemented for any format except base. Using write() even with base format is not recommended as it does not support multicut/multisite enzyme output.
write()
base
Should additional formats be supported (such as XML)?

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new Usage : $stream = Bio::Restriction::IO->new(-file => $filename, -format => 'Format') Function: Returns a new seqstream Returns : A Bio::Restriction::IO::Handler initialised with the appropriate format Args : -file => $filename -format => format -fh => filehandle to attach to
Title : read Usage : $renzs = $stream->read Function: reads all the restrction enzymes from the stream Returns : a Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection object Args :
Title : write Usage : $stream->write($seq) Function: writes the $seq object into the stream Returns : 1 for success and 0 for error Args : Bio::Restriction::EnzymeCollection object
Title : _guess_format Usage : $obj->_guess_format($filename) Function: Example : Returns : guessed format of filename (lower case) Args :
