[Bioperl-l] general question about possible attribute values

[Florent Angly]

Dave,
Have a look in Bio::Assembly::Contig::IO, that's where all the supported 
assembly input/output formats are located. It's convenient to use the 
BioPerl Deobfuscator:
http://bioperl.org/cgi-bin/deob_interface.cgi?Search=&module=&sort_order=by+method&search_string=bio%3A%3Aassembly%3A%3Aio&Filter=Submit+Query 
<http://bioperl.org/cgi-bin/deob_interface.cgi?Search=&module=&sort_order=by+method&search_string=bio%3A%3Aassembly%3A%3Aio&Filter=Submit+Query>
'ace' and 'phrap' are the supported formats. The 'tigr' assembler format 
has been added in the CVS version recently too.
