Bio::DB::InMemoryCache - Abstract interface for a sequence database $cachedb = Bio::DB::InMemoryCache->new( -seqdb => $real_db, -number => 1000); # # get a database object somehow using a concrete class # $seq = $cachedb->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN'); # # $seq is a Bio::Seq object # This is a memory cache system which saves the objects returned by Bio::DB::RandomAccessI in memory to a hard limit of sequences.

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

get_Seq_by_id
Title : get_Seq_by_id Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN') Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by its name Returns : a Bio::Seq object Args : the id (as a string) of a sequence Throws : "id does not exist" exception

get_Seq_by_acc
Title : get_Seq_by_acc Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('X77802'); Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by accession number Returns : A Bio::Seq object Args : accession number (as a string) Throws : "acc does not exist" exception

get_Seq_by_version
Title : get_Seq_by_version Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_version('X77802.1'); Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by sequence version Returns : A Bio::Seq object Args : accession.version (as a string) Throws : "acc.version does not exist" exception
