14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::Seq::SeqFactory - Instantiation of generic Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived) objects through a factory
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory;
21 my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
22 my $primaryseq = $factory->create( -seq => 'WYRAVLC',
23 -id => 'name' );
25 # Create Bio::Seq instead of Bio::PrimarySeq objects:
26 my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new( -type => 'Bio::Seq' );
29 =head1 DESCRIPTION
31 This object will build L<Bio::PrimarySeqI> and L<Bio::SeqI> objects
32 generically.
34 =head1 FEEDBACK
36 =head2 Mailing Lists
38 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
39 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
40 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

45 =head2 Support
47 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
49 I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
51 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
52 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
53 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
54 with code and data examples if at all possible.
56 =head2 Reporting Bugs
58 Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
59 of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the

85 =head2 new
87 Title : new
88 Usage : my $obj = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
89 Function: Builds a new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory object
90 Returns : Bio::Seq::SeqFactory
91 Args : -type => string, name of a PrimarySeqI derived class
92 This is optional. Default=Bio::PrimarySeq.
94 =cut
96 sub new {
97 my($class,@args) = @_;

108 =head2 create
110 Title : create
111 Usage : my $seq = $seqbuilder->create(-seq => 'CAGT', -id => 'name');
112 Function: Instantiates new Bio::SeqI (or one of its child classes)
113 This object allows us to genericize the instantiation of sequence
114 objects.
115 Returns : Bio::PrimarySeq object (default)
116 The return type is configurable using new(-type =>"...").
117 Args : initialization parameters specific to the type of sequence
118 object we want. Typically
119 -seq => $str,
120 -display_id => $name

131 Title : type
132 Usage : $obj->type($newval)

134 Returns : value of type
135 Args : newvalue (optional)
