Subject: Re: [Genome] Perl Bio::Das download of repeatmasked sequences?

Hi Hiram,

I know that uscs browser source code should have a parer to this type
of files (which is in C (according to the accompany header file),
right?). Is there a library as simple as Bio::DAS that I can call from
scripting language like perl or python without having to know the
details of .2bit file format?

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=672251

Converting .2bit to fasta then using bioperl to parse fasta is one
option. But it seems less straightforward. If there is a stand alone
tool, it would be better.
