=head1 NAME

Bio::AlignIO::meme - meme sequence input/output stream

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this module directly.  Use it via the Bio::AlignIO class.

  use Bio::AlignIO;
  # read in an alignment from meme
  my $in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'meme',
                             -file   => 'meme.out');
  while( my $aln = $in->next_aln ) {
     # do something with the alignment
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object transforms the "sites sorted by position p-value" sections
of a meme (text) output file into a series of Bio::SimpleAlign
objects.  Each SimpleAlign object contains Bio::LocatableSeq
objects which represent the individual aligned sites as defined by
the central portion of the "site" field in the meme file.  The start
and end coordinates are derived from the "Start" field. See
L and L for more information.

This module can only parse MEME version 3 and 4.  Previous
versions have output formats that are more difficult to parse
correctly.  If the meme output file is not version 3.0 or greater
we signal an error.

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
