=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqIO::lasergene - Lasergene sequence file input/output stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the L<Bio::SeqIO> class.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object can product Bio::Seq::RichSeq objects from Lasergene sequence files.

IT DOES NOT PARSE ANY ATTIBUTE VALUE PAIRS IN THE HEADER OF THE LASERGENE FORMATTED FILE.

IT DOES NOT WRITE THESE FILES EITHER.

=head2 Mailing Lists

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

=head2 Support 

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

I<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.

=head2 write_seq (NOT IMPLEMENTED)

 Title   : write_seq
 Usage   : $stream->write_seq($seq)
