14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::MapIO - A Map Factory object
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 use Bio::MapIO;
21 my $mapio = Bio::MapIO->new(-format => "mapmaker",
22 -file => "mapfile.map");
24 while( my $map = $mapio->next_map ) {
25 # get each map
26 foreach my $marker ( $map->each_element ) {
27 # loop through the markers associated with the map
31 =head1 DESCRIPTION
33 This is the Factory object for reading Maps from a data stream or file.
35 =head1 FEEDBACK
37 =head2 Mailing Lists
39 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
40 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
41 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

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