=head1 NAME

Bio::Tools::Run::Coil - wrapper for ncoils program

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Build a Coil factory
  my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Coil->new($params);

  # Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
  # @feats is an array of Bio::SeqFeature::Generic objects
  my @feats = $factory->run($seq);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a wrapper for the B<ncoils> program available via
L<http://www.russell.embl-heidelberg.de/coils/coils.tar.gz> for predicting 
coiled coils in protein sequences.

By default it looks for an executable called I<ncoils> and data/parameter files
in the directory specified by the I<COILSDIR> environmental variable.

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support 

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

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

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
web:
