# Bio::SeqIO::interpro(3pm)

InterProScan XML input/output stream

## NAME

Bio::SeqIO::interpro - InterProScan XML input/output stream

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # do not call this module directly, use Bio::SeqIO
  use strict;
  use Bio::SeqIO;
  my $io = Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => "interpro",
                           -file   => $interpro_file);
  while (my $seq = $io->next_seq) {
    # use the Sequence object
  }
```

## DESCRIPTION

Bio::SeqIO::interpro will parse Interpro scan XML (version 1.2) and create Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects based on the contents of the XML document.

Bio::SeqIO::interpro will also attach the annotation given in the XML file to the Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects that it creates.
