NAME
Bio::Assembly::Singlet - Perl module to hold and manipulate singlets from sequence assembly contigs. SYNOPSIS
# Module loading use Bio::Assembly::IO; # Assembly loading methods $aio = Bio::Assembly::IO->new( -file => 'test.ace.1', -format => 'phrap' ); $assembly = $aio->next_assembly; foreach $singlet ($assembly->all_singlets) { # do something } # OR, if you want to build the singlet yourself, use Bio::Assembly::Singlet; $singlet = Bio::Assembly::Singlet->new( -id => 'Singlet1', -seqref => $seq ); DESCRIPTION
A singlet is a sequence that phrap was unable to align to any other sequences. FEEDBACK
