NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Seg - Object for identifying low complexity
	 regions in a given protein seequence.

SYNOPSIS

	 # Build a Seg factory
	 # $paramfile is the full path to the seg binary file
	 my @params = ('PROGRAM',$paramfile);
	 my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Seg->new($param);

	 # Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
	 # @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
	 my @feats = $factory->run($seq);

DESCRIPTION

       Seg is a program which identifies low complexity regions in proteins.  It was developed by Wootton and Federhen at NCBI.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       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.

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

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       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.
