NAME

Bio::DB::HTS::Kseq - Bindings to Kseq

DESCRIPTION

Bindings to the Kseq library for iterating through a locally held FASTA/FASTQ file very quickly. Supports compressed and uncompressed files alongside filehandles.

SYNOPSIS

my $kseq = Bio::DB::HTS::Kseq->new('path/to/file');
my $iter = $kseq->iterator();
while(my $r = $iter->next_seq()) {
  say $r->name;
  say $r->desc;
  say $r->seq;
  say $r->qual;
}

# Allowing the object to go out of scope will close down all file handles

METHODS

new

my $kseq = Bio::DB::HTS::Kseq->new('path/to/file');

Returns an instance of this object from a file path.

newfh

open my $fh, '<', 'path' or die "Cannot open path: $!";
binmode $fh;
my $kseq = Bio::DB::HTS::Kseq->newfh($fh);

Returns an instance of this object from an opened file handle. This supports any known Perl glob/filehandle type

iterator

my $iter = $kseq->iterator();

Returns the kseq iterator object
