=head1 NAME
Bio::Seq::RichSeqI - RichSeq interface, mainly for database orientated sequences
=head1 SYNOPSIS
@secondary = $richseq->get_secondary_accessions;
$division = $richseq->division;
$mol = $richseq->molecule;
@dates = $richseq->get_dates;
$seq_version = $richseq->seq_version;
$pid = $richseq->pid;
$keywords = $richseq->keywords;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This interface extends the Bio::SeqI interface to give additional functionality
to sequences with richer data sources, in particular from database sequences
(EMBL, GenBank and Swissprot).

=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");
}
