# Bio::Tools::Run::Prints(3pm)

PRINTS fingerprint identification algorithm

## NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Prints - PRINTS fingerprint identification algorithm

## SYNOPSIS

```
  Build a Prints factory
  my @params = ('DB',$dbfile);
  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Prints->new($params);
  # Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
  # @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
  my @feats = $factory->run($seq);
```
