[Bioperl-l] Problems running blast

[James Wasmuth]

input can be:
    * sequence object
    * array ref of sequence objects
    * filename of file containing fasta formatted sequences


best bet is create a Seq object.  From the HOWTO:

use IO::String;
        use Bio::SeqIO;

        # get a string into $string somehow, with its format in 
        # $format, say from a web form
        my $stringfh = new IO::String($string);
        my $seqio = new Bio::SeqIO(-fh => $stringfh,
                                   -format => $format);

        while( my $seq = $seqio->next_seq ) {
             # process each seq
        }
