Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI - This interface allows for generic building of sequences in factories which create sequences (like SeqIO) # do not use this object directly it is an interface # get a Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI object like use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory; my $seqbuilder = new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory('type' => 'Bio::PrimarySeq'); my $seq = $seqbuilder->create(-seq => 'ACTGAT', -display_id => 'exampleseq'); print "seq is a ", ref($seq), "\n"; A generic way to build Sequence objects via a pluggable factory. This reduces the amount of code that looks like if( $type eq 'Bio::PrimarySeq' ) { ... } elsif( $type eq 'Bio::Seq::RichSeq' ) { ... }

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.

Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bioperl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ Email jason-at-bioperl.org The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

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