Bio::Tools::Run::Genscan - Object for identifying genes in a given sequence given a matrix(for appropriate organisms).

# Build a Genscan factory
my $param = ('MATRIX'=>HumanIso.smat);
my $factory = Bio::Tools::Run::Genscan->new($param);
# Pass the factory a Bio::Seq object
#@genes is an array of Bio::Tools::Predictions::Gene objects
my @genes = $factory->run($seq);

Genscan is a gene identifying program developed by Christopher Burge http://genes.mit.edu/burgelab/
By default it looks for an executable called genscan and data/parameter files in the directory specified by the GENSCANDIR environmental variable.
