[Bioperl-l] create Bio::AlignIO object from hash

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Adam,

I'm guessing you actually want to create a Bio::SimpleAlign object 
(representing an alignment), rather than a Bio::AlignIO object (which is 
just for reading/writing alignment files). Bio::SimpleAlign has a 
documented new method that allows you to construct an alignment from 
Bio::LocatableSeq objects, which are similar to Bio::Seq objects but 
include gaps and start/end coordinates to describe their relationship to 
other sequences in the alignment.

Roy.
