              PrintWriter writer)
                       throws NullPointerException,
                              IOException,
                              IllegalSymbolException,
                              BioException

write out a specified CodonPref object in XML format.

Throws:

NullPointerException

IOException

IllegalSymbolException

BioException

readFromXML

public static CodonPref readFromXML(InputStream prefStream,
                    String name)
                             throws BioException

reads a specified CodonPref from an file.

Parameters:

name - name of organism

Throws:

BioException

readFromXML

public static CodonPref[] readFromXML(InputStream prefStream)
                               throws BioException

Throws:

BioException

readFromXML

public static void readFromXML(InputStream prefStream,
               CodonPrefFilter filter)
                        throws BioException

read an CodonPref XML stream and handle it with a CodonPrefFilter object.

Throws:

BioException

translateCUD

public static void translateCUD(InputStream input,
                OutputStream output)
                         throws IOException

reads in a file in Codon Usage Database format and translate it into our XML format These can be obtained from the Codon Usage Database.

Note that the output assumes that the universal genetic code is used as that is not encoded in the CUD files. Edit the output appropriately to modify the genetic code if necessary.

Throws:

IOException
