NAME

Bio::Seq::SeqFactory - Instantiation of generic Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived) objects through a factory

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory;
my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
my $primaryseq = $factory->create( -seq => 'WYRAVLC',
                                   -id  => 'name'     );

# Create Bio::Seq instead of Bio::PrimarySeq objects:
my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new( -type => 'Bio::Seq' );

DESCRIPTION

This object will build Bio::PrimarySeqI and Bio::SeqI objects generically.

Mailing Lists

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

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.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title   : new
Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory object 
Returns : Bio::Seq::SeqFactory
Args    : -type => string, name of a PrimarySeqI derived class
                   This is optional. Default=Bio::PrimarySeq.

create

Title   : create
Usage   : my $seq = $seqbuilder->create(-seq => 'CAGT', -id => 'name');
Function: Instantiates new Bio::SeqI (or one of its child classes)
          This object allows us to genericize the instantiation of sequence
          objects.
Returns : Bio::PrimarySeq object (default)
          The return type is configurable using new(-type =>"...").
Args    : initialization parameters specific to the type of sequence
          object we want.  Typically 
          -seq        => $str,
          -display_id => $name

type

Title   : type
Usage   : $obj->type($newval)
Function: 
Returns : value of type
Args    : newvalue (optional)
