=head1 NAME
Bio::SeqIO::tinyseq - reading/writing sequences in NCBI TinySeq format
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Do not use this module directly; use the SeqIO handler system:
$stream = Bio::SeqIO->new( -file => $filename, -format => 'tinyseq' );
while ( my $seq = $stream->next_seq ) {
....
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This object reads and writes Bio::Seq objects to and from TinySeq XML
format. A TinySeq is a lightweight XML file of sequence information,
analgous to FASTA format.
=head1 FEEDBACK
=head2 Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via
the web:

=head1 AUTHOR
Donald Jackson, E<lt>donald.jackson@bms.comE<gt>
Parts of this module and the test script were patterned after Sheldon
McKay's L<Bio::SeqIO::game>. If it breaks, however, it's my fault not
his ;).
=head1 APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
=cut
use strict;
our $VERSION = ${Bio::Root::Version::VERSION};

=head2 next_seq
Title : next_seq
Usage : $seq = $stream->next_seq()
Function : returns the next sequence in the stream
Returns : Bio::Seq object
Args : NONE
=cut
sub next_seq {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->_get_seqs() unless ($self->{_parsed});
return shift @{$self->{_seqlist}};
}
=head2 write_seq
Title : write_seq
Usage : $seq = $stream->write_seq(@sequence_objects); undef $stream
Function : outputs one or more sequence objects as TinySeq XML
Returns : 1 on success
Args : one or more sequence objects as TinySeq XML
Because the TSeq dtd includes closing tags after all sets are written,
the output will not be complete until the program terminates or the
object is forced out of scope (see close_writer()). May not perfectly
reproduce TSeq_sid element for all sequences

=head2 _get_seqs
Title : _get_seqs
Usage : Internal function - use next_seq() instead
Function : parses the XML and creates Bio::Seq objects
Returns : 1 on success

Currently stores all sequence objects into memory. I will work on do
more of a stream-based approach

=head2 _get_species
Title : _get_species
Usage : Internal function
Function : gets a Bio::Species object from cache or creates as needed
Returns : a Bio::Species object on success, undef on failure
Args : a classification string (eg 'Homo sapiens') and
a NCBI taxon id (optional)
Objects are cached for parsing multiple sequence files.

=head2 _assign_identifier
Title : _assign_identifier
Usage : Internal function
Function : looks for sequence accession
Returns : 1 on success
Args : NONE
NCBI puts refseq accessions in TSeq_sid, others in TSeq_accver.
=cut
