[Bioperl-l] Reading a XML sequence (UniParc) into a BioSeq object

Hi,

Since nobody gave me a clue nor told me that my question is silly (it 
should be ;-) ), I finally realized a hack within an object that 
inherits from BioFetch and overloads post process method, converting 
uniparc XML to swiss format. The really nice approach of parsing uniparc 
XML and creating a object was too hard for me.

It's amazing what BioPerl can do.

Regards,

=head1 NAME

ICIM::Bio::DB::BioFetch - Database object interface to BioFetch retrieval

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 see Bio::DB::BioFetch

=head1 DESCRIPTION

See Bio::DB::BioFetch for main description.

The Begin code adds a few databases.

The post_process method converts UniParc XML format to Swiss format
for string transfer type.

=head1 SEE ALSO

This module inherits from BioFetch.
http://doc.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/Bio/DB/BioFetch.html

This module is a light copy of BioFetch.

=head1 APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object
methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

 Title   : postprocess_data
 Usage   : $self->postprocess_data ( 'type' => 'string',

 Function: process downloaded data before loading into a Bio::SeqIO
 Returns : void
 Args    : hash with two keys - 'type' can be 'string' or 'file'
                              - 'location' either file location or string
