APPENDIX

       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
       usually preceded with a _

         Title   : new
         Usage   : $dna = Bio::LiveSeq::DNA->new(-seq => "atcgaccaatggacctca",
                                                 -offset => 3 );

         Function: generates a new Bio::LiveSeq::DNA
         Returns : reference to a new object of class DNA
         Errorcode -1
         Args    : a string
               AND an optional offset to create nucleotide labels (default is 1, i.e.
                   starting the count of labels from "1") -> do not bother using it ->
                   it could be used by alternative loaders !EMBL format
         NOTE    : strand of DNA is set to 1 by default
