Bio::SearchIO::waba(3p)

NAME
Bio::SearchIO::waba - SearchIO parser for Jim Kent WABA program alignment output

SYNOPSIS
    # do not use this object directly, rather through Bio::SearchIO

    use Bio::SearchIO;
    my $in = Bio::SearchIO->new(-format => 'waba',
                               -file   => 'output.wab');
    while( my $result = $in->next_result ) {
        while( my $hit = $result->next_hit ) {
            while( my $hsp = $result->next_hsp ) {

            }
        }
    }

DESCRIPTION
This parser will process the waba output (NOT the human readable format).
