SYNOPSIS

# do not use this object directly it is an interface # get a Bio::Factory::SequenceFactoryI object like

use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory;
my $seqbuilder = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new('-type' => 'Bio::PrimarySeq');
my $seq = $seqbuilder->create(-seq => 'ACTGAT',
-display_id => 'exampleseq');
print "seq is a ", ref($seq), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

A generic way to build Sequence objects via a pluggable factory. This reduces the amount of code that looks like

  if( $type  eq 'Bio::PrimarySeq' ) { ... } 
  elsif( $type eq 'Bio::Seq::RichSeq' ) { ... }

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

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 _

create

 Title   : create
 Usage   : my $seq = $seqbuilder->create(-seq => 'CAGT', 
                                         -id => 'name');
 Function: Instantiates new Bio::PrimarySeqI (or one of its child classes)
           This object allows us to genericize the instantiation of sequence
           objects.
 Returns : Bio::PrimarySeqI
 Args    : initialization parameters specific to the type of sequence
           object we want.  Typically 
           -seq        => $str,
           -display_id => $name
