Bio::Seq::SeqFactory - Instantiates a new Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived class) through a factory use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory; my $factory = new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory; my $seq = $factory->create(-seq => 'WYRAVLC', -id => 'name'); # If you want the factory to create Bio::Seq objects instead # of the default Bio::PrimarySeq objects, use the -type parameter: my $factory = new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory(-type => 'Bio::Seq'); This object will build Bio::PrimarySeqI and Bio::SeqI objects generically.

Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new
Title : new Usage : my $obj = new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory(); 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)
