# This module is for reading and writing PIR or NBRF format files as
# SeqRecord objects.  The code is based on Bio.SeqIO.FastaIO

"""Bio.SeqIO support for the "pir" (aka PIR or NBRF) file format.

You are expected to use this module via the Bio.SeqIO functions, or if
the file contains a sequence alignment, optionally via Bio.AlignIO instead.

This format was introduced for the Protein Information Resource (PIR), a
project of the National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF).  The PIR
database itself is now part of UniProt.

The file format is described online at:
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/help/pir_frame.html
http://www.cmbi.kun.nl/bioinf/tools/crab_pir.html (currently down)

An example file in this format would be:

>P1;CRAB_ANAPL

As with the FASTA format, each record starts with a line begining with ">"
character.  There is then a two letter sequence type (P1, F1, DL, DC, RL,
RC, or XX), a semi colon, and the identification code.  The second like is
free text description.  The remaining lines contain the sequence itself,
terminating in an asterisk.  Space separated blocks of ten letters as shown
above are typical.

Sequence codes and their meanings:

P1 - Protein (complete)
F1 - Protein (fragment)
D1 - DNA (e.g. EMBOSS seqret output)
DL - DNA (linear)
DC - DNA (circular)
RL - RNA (linear)
RC - RNA (circular)
N3 - tRNA
N1 - Other functional RNA
XX - Unknown
