# Bio::SeqIO::tinyseq::tinyseqHandler(3pm)

XML event handlers to support NCBI TinySeq XML parsing

## NAME

Bio::SeqIO::tinyseq::tinyseqHandler - XML event handlers to support NCBI TinySeq XML parsing

## SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly; use the SeqIO handler system:

```
  $stream = Bio::SeqIO->new( -file => $filename, -format => 'tinyseq' );
  while ( my $seq = $stream->next_seq ) {
    ....
  }
```

## DESCRIPTION

This object provides event handler methods for parsing sequence files in the NCBI TinySeq XML format.  A TinySeq is a lightweight XML file of sequence information on one or more sequences, analgous to FASTA format.

See \<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dtd/NCBI\_TSeq.mod.dtd\> for the DTD.

## FEEDBACK

### Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

### Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

*bioperl-l@bioperl.org*

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and  reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly  address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem  with code and data examples if at all possible.
