Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bio.perl.org/MailList.html - About the mailing lists =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ =head1 AUTHOR - Ewan Birney Email birney@ebi.ac.uk Describe contact details here =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::Seq::RichSeqI; use vars qw(@ISA); use strict; use Bio::SeqI; @ISA = ('Bio::SeqI'); =head2 get_secondary_accessions Title : get_secondary_accessions Usage : Function: Get the secondary accessions for a sequence. Example : Returns : an array of strings Args : none =cut sub get_secondary_accessions{ my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit get_secondary_accessions in interface definition - error"); } =head2 division Title : division Usage : Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the divison for a sequence. Examples from GenBank are PLN (plants), PRI (primates), etc. Example : Returns : a string Args : =cut sub division{ my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit division in interface definition - error"); } =head2 molecule Title : molecule Usage : Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the molecule type for the sequence. This is not necessarily the same as Bio::PrimarySeqI::alphabet(), because it is databank-specific. Example : Returns : a string Args : =cut sub molecule{ my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit molecule in interface definition - error"); } =head2 pid Title : pid Usage : Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the PID property for the sequence. Example : Returns : a string Args : =cut sub pid { my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit pid in interface definition - error"); } =head2 get_dates Title : get_dates Usage : Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the dates the databank entry specified for the sequence Example : Returns : an array of strings Args : =cut sub get_dates{ my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit get_dates in interface definition - error"); } =head2 seq_version Title : seq_version Usage : Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the version string of the sequence. Example : Returns : a string Args : =cut sub seq_version{ my ($self,@args) = @_; $self->throw("hit seq_version in interface definition - error"); } =head2 keywords Title : keywords Usage : $obj->keywords($newval) Function: Returns : value of keywords (a string) Args : newvalue (optional) (a string) =cut sub keywords { my ($self) = @_; $self->throw("hit keywords in interface definition - error"); } 1;
