NAME

Bio::GenBankParser - Parse::RecDescent parser for a GenBank record

VERSION

Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

This module aims to improve on the BioPerl GenBank parser by using a grammar-based approach with Parse::RecDescent.

use Bio::GenBankParser;

my $parser = Bio::GenBankParser->new();

local $/ = "//\n";
while ( my $rec = <$input> ) {
    my $gb_rec = $parser->parse( $rec );
}

Or:

my $parser = Bio::GenBankParser->new( file => $file );
while ( my $seq = $parser->next_seq ) {
    ...
}
