[Bioperl-l] needle parser in bioperl?

[neeti somaiya]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your response.
I ran needle like this
 /usr/local/bin/./needle SEQ_1.REF seq_of_contig1 -aformat msf 1.out
It gave me the output in format msf.
But now my problem is, if I use Bio::AlignIO module of Bioperl, how can I
get the alignment start and stop coordinates on the sequence. I mean
something like hsp->query->start which gives us the alignment start position
on query sequence in a blast output when using Bio::SearchIO.
Please help.
Like I explained with an example in my previous mail, I want the coordinate
where the alignment starts on the sequence.
