NAME
Bio::ClusterIO::dbsnp - dbSNP input stream
SYNOPSIS
Do not use this module directly. Use it via the Bio::ClusterIO class.
DESCRIPTION
Parse dbSNP XML files, one refSNP entry at a time. Note this handles dbSNPp output generated by NBCI's eutils and does NOT parse output derived from SNP's XML format (found at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/).
