APPENDIX

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

_generic_seqfeature

Title   : _generic_seqfeature
Usage   : $fthelper->_generic_seqfeature($annseq, "GenBank")
Function: processes fthelper into a generic seqfeature
Returns : TRUE on success and otherwise FALSE
Args    : The Bio::Factory::LocationFactoryI object to use for parsing
          location strings. The ID (e.g., display_id) of the sequence on which
          this feature is located, optionally a string indicating the source
          (GenBank/EMBL/SwissProt)

 Function: constructor of fthelpers from SeqFeatures
         :
         : The additional annseq argument is to allow the building of FTHelper
         : lines relevant to particular sequences (ie, when features are spread over
         : enteries, knowing how to build this)
 Returns : an array of FThelpers
