=head1 NAME
FAST::Bio::LocatableSeq - A FAST::Bio::PrimarySeq object with start/end points on it
that can be projected into a MSA or have coordinates relative to
another seq.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FAST::Bio::LocatableSeq;
my $seq = FAST::Bio::LocatableSeq->new(-seq => "CAGT-GGT",
-id => "seq1",
-start => 1,
-end => 7);
# a normal sequence object
$locseq->seq();
$locseq->id();
# has start,end points
$locseq->start();
$locseq->end();
# inherits off RangeI, so range operations possible
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The LocatableSeq sequence object was developed mainly because the SimpleAlign
object requires this functionality, and in the rewrite of the Sequence object we
had to decide what to do with this.
It is, to be honest, not well integrated with the rest of bioperl. For example,
the trunc() function does not return a LocatableSeq object, as some might have
thought. Also, the sequence is not a FAST::Bio::SeqI, so the location is simply
inherited from FAST::Bio::RangeI and is not stored in a FAST::Bio::Location.
There are all sorts of nasty gotcha's about interactions between coordinate
systems when these sort of objects are used. Some mapping now occurs to deal
with HSP data, however it can probably be integrated in better and most methods
do not implement it correctly yet. Also, several PrimarySeqI methods (subseq(),
trunc(), etc.) do not behave as expected and must be used with care.
Due to this, LocatableSeq functionality is to be refactored in a future BioPerl
release. However, for alignment functionality it works adequately for the time
being
=head1 FEEDBACK
=head2 Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 start
Title : start
Usage : $obj->start($newval)
Function: Get/set the 1-based start position of this sequence in the original
sequence. '0' means before the original sequence starts.
Returns : value of start
Args : newvalue (optional)
=cut
sub start{
my $self = shift;

$self->{'start'} = $value;
}

Title : end
Usage : $obj->end($newval)
Function: Get/set the 1-based end position of this sequence in the original
sequence. '0' means before the original sequence starts.
Returns : value of end
Args : newvalue (optional)
Note : although this is a get/set, it checks passed values against the
calculated end point ( derived from the sequence and based on
$GAP_SYMBOLS and possible frameshifts() ). If there is no match,
it will warn and set the proper value. Probably best used for
debugging proper sequence calculations.

Title : num_gaps
Usage :$self->num_gaps('.')
Function:Gets number of gaps in the sequence. The count excludes

=head2 column_from_residue_number
Title : column_from_residue_number
Usage : $col = $seq->column_from_residue_number($resnumber)
Function:
This function gives the position in the alignment
(i.e. column number) of the given residue number in the
sequence. For example, for the sequence
Seq1/91-97 AC..DEF.GH
column_from_residue_number(94) returns 6.
An exception is thrown if the residue number would lie
outside the length of the aligment
(e.g. column_from_residue_number( "Seq2", 22 )
Returns : A column number for the position of the
given residue in the given sequence (1 = first column)
Args : A residue number in the whole sequence (not just that
segment of it in the alignment)
=cut

=head2 location_from_column
Title : location_from_column
Usage : $loc = $ali->location_from_column($column_number)
Function:
This function gives the residue number for a given position
in the alignment (i.e. column number) of the given. Gaps
complicate this process and force the output to be a
L<FAST::Bio::Location::Simple> where values can be undefined.
For example, for the sequence:
Seq/91-96 .AC..DEF.G.
location_from_column( 3 ) position 92
location_from_column( 4 ) position 92^93
location_from_column( 9 ) position 95^96
location_from_column( 1 ) position undef
An exact position returns a FAST::Bio::Location::Simple object
where where location_type() returns 'EXACT', if a position
is between bases location_type() returns 'IN-BETWEEN'.
Column before the first residue returns undef. Note that if
the position is after the last residue in the alignment,
that there is no guarantee that the original sequence has
residues after that position.
An exception is thrown if the column number is not within
the sequence.
Returns : FAST::Bio::Location::Simple or undef
Args : A column number
Throws : If column is not within the sequence
See L<FAST::Bio::Location::Simple> for more.

my ($self, $column) = @_;

" sequence length [". $self->length. "]")
unless $column <= $self->length;

=head2 revcom
Title : revcom
Usage : $rev = $seq->revcom()
Function: Produces a new FAST::Bio::LocatableSeq object which
has the reversed complement of the sequence. For protein
sequences this throws an exception of "Sequence is a
protein. Cannot revcom"
Returns : A new FAST::Bio::LocatableSeq object
Args : none

Title : trunc
Usage : $subseq = $myseq->trunc(10,100);
Function: Provides a truncation of a sequence,
Example :
Returns : a fresh FAST::Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object

sequence to be included into sub-sequence.

=head2 validate_seq
Title : validate_seq
Usage : if(! $seq->validate_seq($seq_str) ) {
print "sequence $seq_str is not valid for an object of
alphabet ",$seq->alphabet, "\n";
}
Function: Validates a given sequence string. A validating sequence string
must be accepted by seq(). A string that does not validate will
lead to an exception if passed to seq().
The implementation provided here does not take alphabet() into
account. Allowed are all letters (A-Z), numbers [0-9]
and common symbols used for gaps, stop codons, unknown residues,
and frameshifts, including '-','.','*','?','=',and '~'.
Example :
Returns : 1 if the supplied sequence string is valid for the object, and
0 otherwise.
Args : The sequence string to be validated.
=cut
sub validate_seq {
my ($self,$seqstr) = @_;
if( ! defined $seqstr ){ $seqstr = $self->seq(); }
return 0 unless( defined $seqstr);
if((CORE::length($seqstr) > 0) &&
