Title : new()
Usage : $qual = Bio::Seq::SeqWithQuality ->new
( -qual => '10 20 30 40 50 50 20 10',
-seq => 'ATCGATCG',
-id => 'human_id',
-accession_number => 'AL000012',
-trace_indices => '0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35'
);
Function: Returns a new Bio::Seq::SeqWithQual object from basic
constructors.
Returns : a new Bio::Seq::PrimaryQual object
Notes : Arguments:
-qual can be a quality string (see Bio::Seq::PrimaryQual for more
information on this) or a reference to a Bio::Seq::PrimaryQual
object.
-seq can be a sequence string (see Bio::PrimarySeq for more
information on this) or a reference to a Bio::PrimaryQual object.
-seq, -id, -accession_number, -primary_id, -desc, -id behave like
this:
1. if they are provided on construction of the
Bio::Seq::SeqWithQuality they will be set as the descriptors for
the object unless changed by one of the following mechanisms:
a) $obj->set_common_descriptors() is used and both the -seq and
the -qual object have the same descriptors. These common
descriptors will then become the descriptors for the
Bio::Seq::SeqWithQual object.
b) the descriptors are manually set using the seq(), id(),
desc(), or accession_number(), primary_id(),
2. if no descriptors are provided, the new() constructor will see
if the descriptor used in the PrimarySeq and in the
PrimaryQual objects match. If they do, they will become
the descriptors for the SeqWithQuality object.
To eliminate ambiguity, I strongly suggest you set the
descriptors manually on construction of the object. Really.
-trace_indices : a space_delimited list of trace indices
(where would the peaks be drawn if this list of qualities
was to be plotted?)

}
=head2 display_id()
Title : display_id()
Usage : $id_string = $obj->display_id();
Function: Returns the display id, aka the common name of the Quality
object.
The semantics of this is that it is the most likely string to be
used as an identifier of the quality sequence, and likely to have
"human" readability. The id is equivalent to the ID field of the
GenBank/EMBL databanks and the id field of the Swissprot/sptrembl
database. In fasta format, the >(\S+) is presumed to be the id,
though some people overload the id to embed other information.
Bioperl does not use any embedded information in the ID field,
and people are encouraged to use other mechanisms (accession
field for example, or extending the sequence object) to solve
this. Notice that $seq->id() maps to this function, mainly for
legacy/convience issues.
This method sets the display_id for the SeqWithQuality object.
Returns : A string
Args : If a scalar is provided, it is set as the new display_id for
the SeqWithQuality object.
Status : Virtual
=cut
sub display_id {
my ($obj,$value) = @_;
if( defined $value) {
$obj->{'display_id'} = $value;
}
return $obj->{'display_id'};
}
=head2 accession_number()
Title : accession_number()
Usage : $unique_biological_key = $obj->accession_number();
Function: Returns the unique biological id for a sequence, commonly
called the accession_number. For sequences from established
databases, the implementors should try to use the correct
accession number. Notice that primary_id() provides the unique id
for the implemetation, allowing multiple objects to have the same
accession number in a particular implementation. For sequences
with no accession number, this method should return "unknown".
This method sets the accession_number for the SeqWithQuality
object.
Returns : A string (the value of accession_number)
Args : If a scalar is provided, it is set as the new accession_number
for the SeqWithQuality object.
Status : Virtual
=cut
sub accession_number {
my( $obj, $acc ) = @_;
if (defined $acc) {
$obj->{'accession_number'} = $acc;
} else {
$acc = $obj->{'accession_number'};
$acc = 'unknown' unless defined $acc;
}
return $acc;
}
=head2 primary_id()
Title : primary_id()
Usage : $unique_implementation_key = $obj->primary_id();
Function: Returns the unique id for this object in this implementation.
This allows implementations to manage their own object ids in a
way the implementaiton can control clients can expect one id to
map to one object. For sequences with no accession number, this
method should return a stringified memory location.
This method sets the primary_id for the SeqWithQuality
object.
Returns : A string. (the value of primary_id)
Args : If a scalar is provided, it is set as the new primary_id for
the SeqWithQuality object.
=cut
sub primary_id {
my ($obj,$value) = @_;
if ($value) {
$obj->{'primary_id'} = $value;
}

}
=head2 desc()
Title : desc()
Usage : $qual->desc($newval); _or_
$description = $qual->desc();
Function: Get/set description text for this SeqWithQuality object.
Returns : A string. (the value of desc)
Args : If a scalar is provided, it is set as the new desc for the
SeqWithQuality object.
=cut
sub desc {
# a mechanism to set the disc for the SeqWithQuality object.
# probably will be used most often by set_common_features()
my ($obj,$value) = @_;
if( defined $value) {
$obj->{'desc'} = $value;
}
return $obj->{'desc'};
}
=head2 id()
Title : id()
Usage : $id = $qual->id();
Function: Return the ID of the quality. This should normally be (and
actually is in the implementation provided here) just a synonym
for display_id().
Returns : A string. (the value of id)
Args : If a scalar is provided, it is set as the new id for the
SeqWithQuality object.
=cut
sub id {
my ($self,$value) = @_;
if (!$self) { $self->throw("no value for self in $value"); }
if( defined $value ) {
return $self->display_id($value);
}

}
=head2 seq
Title : seq()
Usage : $string = $obj->seq(); _or_
$obj->seq("atctatcatca");
Function: Returns the sequence that is contained in the imbedded in the
PrimarySeq object within the SeqWithQuality object
Returns : A scalar (the seq() value for the imbedded PrimarySeq object.)
Args : If a scalar is provided, the SeqWithQuality object will
attempt to set that as the sequence for the imbedded PrimarySeq
object. Otherwise, the value of seq() for the PrimarySeq object
is returned.
Notes : This is probably not a good idea because you then should call
length() to make sure that the sequence and quality are of the
same length. Even then, how can you make sure that this sequence
belongs with that quality? I provided this to give you rope to
hang yourself with. Tie it to a strong device and use a good
knot.

=head2 qual()
Title : qual()
Usage : @quality_values = @{$obj->qual()}; _or_

Function: Returns the quality as imbedded in the PrimaryQual object
within the SeqWithQuality object.
Returns : A reference to an array containing the quality values in the
PrimaryQual object.
Args : If a scalar is provided, the SeqWithQuality object will
attempt to set that as the quality for the imbedded PrimaryQual
object. Otherwise, the value of qual() for the PrimaryQual
object is returned.
Notes : This is probably not a good idea because you then should call
length() to make sure that the sequence and quality are of the
same length. Even then, how can you make sure that this sequence
belongs with that quality? I provided this to give you a strong

Usage : @trace_indice_values = @{$obj->trace_indices()}; _or_

Function: Returns the trace_indices as imbedded in the Primaryqual object
within the SeqWithQualiity object.
Returns : A reference to an array containing the trace_indice values in the
PrimaryQual object.
Args : If a scalar is provided, the SeqWithuQuality object will
attempt to set that as the trace_indices for the imbedded PrimaryQual
object. Otherwise, the value of trace_indices() for the PrimaryQual
object is returned.
Notes : This is probably not a good idea because you then should call
length() to make sure that the sequence and trace_indices are of the
same length. Even then, how can you make sure that this sequence
belongs with that trace_indicex? I provided this to give you a strong

=head2 trace_index_at($position)
Title : trace_index_at($position)
Usage : $trace_index = $obj->trace_index_at(10);
Function: Return the trace_index value at the given location, where the
first value is 1 and the number is inclusive, ie 1-2 are the
first two bases of the sequence. Start cannot be larger than
end but can be etrace_index_.
Returns : A scalar.
Args : A position.

=head2 to_string()
Title : to_string()
Usage : $quality = $obj->to_string();
Function: Return a textual representation of what the object contains.
For this module, this function will return:
qual
seq
display_id
accession_number
primary_id
desc
id
length_sequence
length_quality
Returns : A scalar.
Args : None.
