NAME

Bio::Seq::RichSeqI - RichSeq interface, mainly for database orientated sequences

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->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.
 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
 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    :

keywords

 Title   : keywords
 Usage   : $obj->keywords($newval)
 Function: 
 Returns : value of keywords (a string)
 Args    : newvalue (optional) (a string)
