This is the README file for Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene, an XML parser-like parser for the ASN.1-formatted NCBI Entrez Gene files. Written and maintained by Dr. Mingyi Liu . Copyright (c) 2005 Mingyi Liu, GPC Biotech, Altana Research Institute. All rights reserved. This program is free software - you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. INSTALLATION Bio::ASN1::EntrezGene can be installed as follows: perl Makefile.PL make make install Or if you prefer, just put EntrezGene.pm to the correct path like /MYPERLLIB/Bio/ ASN1 (replace 'MYPERLLIB' to the perl lib path on your system). That'd work. DOCUMENTATION For documentation, among many other things, please refer to the POD ( plain old documentation) inside the module. Note that the regex_parser_test and parse_entrez_gene_example are two example scripts included. It is highly recommended that you check these scripts out!
