NAME

Bio::MapIO::fpc - A FPC Map reader

SYNOPSIS

# do not use this object directly it is accessed through the Bio::MapIO system

use Bio::MapIO;

 -format  : specifies the format of the file format is "fpc",
 -file    : specifies the name of the .fpc file
 -readcor : boolean argument, indicating if .cor is to be read
             or not. It looks for the .cor file in the same path
             as .fpc file.
             0 : doesn't read .cor file
             1 : reads the .cor file
             [default 0]
 -verbose : indicates the process of loading of fpc file
my $mapio = new Bio::MapIO(-format  => "fpc",
                           -file    => "rice.fpc",
                           -readcor => 0,
                           -verbose => 0);

my $map = $mapio->next_map();

foreach my $marker ( $map->each_markerid() ) {
     # loop through the markers associated with the map
     # likewise for contigs, clones, etc.
}

DESCRIPTION

This object contains code for parsing and processing FPC files and creating Bio::Map::Physical object from it.

For faster access and better optimization, the data is stored internally in hashes. The corresponding objects are created on request.

We handle reading of the FPC ourselves, since MapIO module of Bioperl adds too much overhead.
