NAME
       Bio::SeqIO::strider - DNA strider 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 strider 'binary' format, as documented in the strider manual, in which the first 112
       bytes are a header, following by the sequence, followed by a sequence description.

       Note: it does NOT assign any sequence identifier, since they are not contained in the byte stream of the file; the Strider application
       simply displays the name of the file on disk as the name of the sequence. The caller should set the id, probably based on the name of the
       file (after possibly cleaning up whitespace, which ought not to be used as the id in most applications).

       Note: the strider 'comment' is mapped to the BioPerl 'description' (since there is no other text field, and description maps to defline
       text).

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.
