Accessor methods for Bio::SeqIO

Question

[Yaseen Ladak]

Hello All,

I need some help.

I am trying to use Bio::SeqIO. How can I know what accessor functions does this module have like for example:

my $seqin  = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => "myfile.fa",      -format => "fasta");
my $seqout = Bio::SeqIO->new(-file => ">myfile_100.fa", -format => "fasta");
while(my $seq = $seqin->next_seq) {
  if($seq->length <= 100) {
    $seqout->write_seq($seq);
  }
}

or for example $seq->desc

Is there a way to know what all methods each bio perl module may have? If so what is the right command? Is there a general command to be used on any bio perl module to find this out?

Thanks, Yaseen

Edited your post for clarity of the code block, you can use the 101010 button to do the same ;)

Thank you for editing. What is 101010 button and is it for code formatting? When can I use that?

[WouterDeCoster]

When you write a reply you have a button bar to change the appearance of your text, including bold, italics, links. It's right above the text box and includes a 101010 button. Select the code, click the 101010 button and the code will be formatted. Alternatively, you can add the indentation yourself but this is more convenient.
