Bio::DB::RandomAccessI(3pm) | User Contributed Perl Documentation | Bio::DB::RandomAccessI(3pm) |
NAME¶
Bio::DB::RandomAccessI - Abstract interface for a sequence database
SYNOPSIS¶
# # get a database object somehow using a concrete class # $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN'); # # $seq is a Bio::Seq object #
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a pure interface class - in other words, all this does is define methods which other (concrete) classes will actually implement.
The Bio::DB::RandomAccessI class defines what methods a generic database class should have. At the moment it is just the ability to make Bio::Seq objects from a name (id) or an accession number.
CONTACT¶
Ewan Birney <birney@ebi.ac.uk> originally wrote this class.
Support¶
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
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.

APPENDIX¶
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 or undef if not found Args : the id (as a string) of a sequence,
get_Seq_by_acc¶
Title : get_Seq_by_acc Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('X77802'); $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc(Locus => 'X77802'); Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by accession number Returns : A Bio::Seq object or undef if not found Args : accession number (as a string), or a two element list consisting of namespace=>accession Throws : "more than one sequences correspond to this accession" if the accession maps to multiple primary ids and method is called in a scalar context
NOTE: The two-element form allows you to choose the namespace for the accession number.
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
