SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory;
my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
my $primaryseq = $factory->create( -seq => 'WYRAVLC',
-id => 'name' );
# Create Bio::Seq instead of Bio::PrimarySeq objects:
my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new( -type => 'Bio::Seq' );

DESCRIPTION

This object will build Bio::PrimarySeqI and Bio::SeqI objects generically.

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 _

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory object 
 Returns : Bio::Seq::SeqFactory
 Args    : -type => string, name of a PrimarySeqI derived class
                    This is optional. Default=Bio::PrimarySeq.

create

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

type

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