✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the entire vibe, look how simple:

use Bio::Tools::Blat;
my $blat_parser = Bio::Tools::Blat->new(-fh =>$filehandle );
while( my $blat_feat = $blat_parser->next_result ) {
      push @blat_feat, $blat_feat;
}

Slurp in a filehandle, spin up a parser, then just keep asking for next_result until there's nothing left to give. It's giving ✨effortless✨. 🔥

📖 APPENDIX 📖

The rest of this documentation breaks down every object method in detail, so buckle up, bestie. Just so you know the lay of the land: internal methods are usually preceded with a _ (iykyk). 🧚

🌈 new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Tools::Blat->new(-fh=>$filehandle);
Function: Builds a new Bio::Tools::Blat object
Returns : Bio::Tools::Blat
Args    : -filename
          -fh (filehandle)

It builds you a brand-new Bio::Tools::Blat object and hands it right back to you. Give it either -filename or -fh (a filehandle) and you're set. 💅

🌈 next_result

Title   : next_result
Usage   : my $feat = $blat_parser->next_result
Function: Get the next result set from parser data
Returns : L<Bio::SeqFeature::Generic>
Args    : none

This is the main character method, honestly. It grabs the next result set from the parser data. Takes no arguments at all — you just call it and it delivers. Returns a Bio::SeqFeature::Generic. 🎀

🌈 create_feature

Title   : create_feature
Usage   : my $feat=$blat_parser->create_feature($feature,$seqname)
Function: creates a SeqFeature Generic object
Returns : L<Bio::SeqFeature::Generic>
Args    :

She creates a SeqFeature Generic object for you — pass in your $feature and $seqname and let her cook. 🔥 Returns a Bio::SeqFeature::Generic. (The Args line is just vibes and empty space in the original, so we're leaving it exactly as-is. 🙈)
