Bio::Tools::Run::Seg

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.
