NAME

Bio::CodonUsage::IO - for reading and writing codon usage tables to file

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::CodonUsage::IO;

## read in a codon usage file
my $io = Bio::CodonUsage::IO->new(-file => "in");
my $cut = $io->next_data();

## write it out again
my $out = Bio::CodonUsage::IO->new(-file => ">out");
$out->write_data($cut);

DESCRIPTION

This class provides standard IO methods for reading and writing text files of codon usage tables. These tables can initially be retrieved using Bio::DB::CUTG. At present only this format is supported for read/write.

Reading a CUTG will return a Bio::CodonUsage::Table object.
