Bio::Factory::AnalysisI - An interface to analysis tool factory This is an interface module - you do not instantiate it. Use Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory module: use Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory; my $list = new Bio::Tools::Run::AnalysisFactory->available_analyses; This interface contains all public methods for showing available analyses and for creating objects representing them.

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.
