=head1 VERSION

Version 1.0

=cut

our $VERSION = '1.0';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $abi = ABI->new(-file=>"mysequence.abi");
  my $seq = $abi->get_sequence(); # To get the sequence
  my @trace_a = $abi->get_trace("A"); # Get the raw traces for "A"
  my @trace_g = $abi->get_trace("G"); # Get the raw traces for "G"
  my @base_calls = $abi->get_base_calls(); # Get the base calls

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An ABI chromatogram file is in binary format. It contain several 
information only some of which is required for normal use. This
module only gives access to the most used information stored in
ABI file. All the accesses are read only.

If you have edited the file using a trace editor, then you can use the corresponding 
method to access the edited sequence and base calls.
