=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::pir - PIR sequence input/output stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::SeqIO class.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object can transform Bio::Seq objects to and from pir flat
file databases.

Note: This does not completely preserve the PIR format - quality
information about sequence is currently discarded since bioperl
does not have a mechanism for handling these encodings in sequence
data.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.
