=head1 NAME

RepbaseEMBL


=head1 SYNOPSIS

use RepbaseEMBL

Usage:

    $DB = RepbaseEMBL->new( fileName => "humrep.ref" );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A simple EMBL object.  This is a simple datastructure
for encapsulating the EMBL formatted sequence data and
annotations.  **THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE EMBL FORMAT** but rather restricted to the features
currently used by Repbase. Two methods provide the ability
to read/write Repbase EMBL formatted files.

Caveats:
   - Currently no attempt is made to store the ordering
     of tag groups.  The output ordering is fixed and
     may not reflect the original input ordering.  Ie.
     it appears there is a convention of using a "CC"
     tag following an "OS" tag to store the common name
     of a speciess:

         OS   Anopheles gambiae
         CC   African malaria mosquito.

     The EMBL Standard requires that this information be
     placed on the "OS" line and surrounded by parantheses.
     The reader does not currently differentiate between
     "CC" locations in a record.  Therefore this will be
     reformatted upon output as:

         OS   Anopheles gambiae
         OC   ..
         ..
         XX
         CC   African malaria mosquito.

   - The line breaks/spacing in comment blocks are potentially
     important.  This object attempts to keep save the line
     break and spacing information for several types of
     data including comment tags.  It will be the responsibility
     of the data user to verify line width and reformat paragraphs
     as the data is manipulated.
