NAME

Bio::Seq::RichSeqI - interface for sequences from rich data sources, mostly databases

SYNOPSIS

@secondary   = $richseq->get_secondary_accessions;
$division    = $richseq->division;
$mol         = $richseq->molecule;
@dates       = $richseq->get_dates;
$seq_version = $richseq->seq_version;
$pid         = $richseq->pid;
@keywords    = $richseq->get_keywords;

DESCRIPTION

This interface extends the Bio::SeqI interface to give additional functionality to sequences with richer data sources, in particular from database sequences (EMBL, GenBank and Swissprot).

APPENDIX

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

get_secondary_accessions

Title   : get_secondary_accessions
Usage   : 
Function: Get the secondary accessions for a sequence.

          An implementation that allows modification of this array
          property should provide the methods add_secondary_accession
          and remove_secondary_accessions, with obvious purpose.

Example :
Returns : an array of strings
Args    : none

division

Title   : division
Usage   :
Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the divison for
          a sequence.

          Examples from GenBank are PLN (plants), PRI (primates), etc.
Example :
Returns : a string
Args    :

molecule

Title   : molecule
Usage   :
Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the molecule
          type for the sequence.

          This is not necessarily the same as Bio::PrimarySeqI::alphabet(),
          because it is databank-specific.
Example :
Returns : a string
Args    :

pid

Title   : pid
Usage   :
Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the PID property
          for the sequence.
Example :
Returns : a string
Args    :

get_dates

Title   : get_dates
Usage   :
Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the dates the
          databank entry specified for the sequence

          An implementation that allows modification of this array
          property should provide the methods add_date and
          remove_dates, with obvious purpose.

Example :
Returns : an array of strings
Args    :

seq_version

Title   : seq_version
Usage   :
Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the version string
          of the sequence.
Example :
Returns : a string
Args    :

get_keywords

Title   : get_keywords
Usage   : $obj->get_keywords()
Function: Get the keywords for this sequence object.

          An implementation that allows modification of this array
          property should provide the methods add_keyword and
          remove_keywords, with obvious purpose.

Returns : an array of strings
Args    :
