[Bioperl-l] SearchIO: write/read database

[Chris Fields]

Jason has a starter script available in scripts/graphics/ 
search_overview.PLS (should be installed as bp_search_overview.pl if  
you elected to install scripts).  It can draw a simple graphical  
search overview using Bio::Search objects; might be worth a look.
