[Bioperl-l] Re: Information regarding BioPerl Transfac module

[Stefan Kirov]

Nagesh,
Please address all questions to the bioperl list (if appropriate) and 
not to me personally.
Bio:::Matrix::PSM::IO can parse only the matrix.dat file at the moment 
and I have no intention of extending it. As for TFBS::DB::LocalTRANSFAC- 
it is not part of BioPerl in the moment and I believe  qustions should 
be addressed to Boris Lehnard or Leonardo Ramirez.  But it is clear to 
me from the documentation, that it also parses only matrix.dat (see NAME 
section).
