NAME
       Bio::SeqIO::abi - abi trace sequence input/output stream

SYNOPSIS
       Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

DESCRIPTION
       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 '-get_trace_data' flag or the get_trace_data method to a value evaluating to TRUE.
