APPENDIX

This is actually the main documentation...

If you try to call any of these methods directly on this Bio::Factory::AnalysisI object you will get a not implemented error message. You need to call them on a Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory object instead.

available_categories

Usage   : $factory->available_categories;
Returns : an array reference with the names of
          available categories
Args    : none

The analysis tools may be grouped into categories by their functional similarity, or by the similar data types they deal with. This method shows all available such categories.

available_analyses

Usage   : $factory->available_analyses;
          $factory->available_analyses ($category);
Returns : an array reference with the names of
          all available analyses, or the analyses
          available in the given '$category'
Args    : none || category_name

Show available analyses. Their names usually consist of category analysis names, separated by ::.

create_analysis

Usage   : $factory->create_analysis ($name);
Returns : a Bio::Tools::Run::Analyis object
Args    : analysis name

A real factory method creating an analysis object. The created object gets all access and location information from the factory object.
