NAME

       Bio::Seq::RichSeqI - interface for sequences from rich data sources, mostly databases

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->get_keywords;

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). For a general implementation, please see the documentation for
       Bio::Seq::RichSeq.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably
        to one of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

         bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   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 the web:

APPENDIX

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

   get_secondary_accessions
        Title   : get_secondary_accessions
        Usage   :
        Function: Get the secondary accessions for a sequence.

                  An implementation that allows modification of this array
                  property should provide the methods add_secondary_accession
                  and remove_secondary_accessions, with obvious purpose.

        Example :
        Returns : an array of strings
        Args    : none

   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    :

   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    :

   pid
        Title   : pid
        Usage   :
        Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the PID property
                  for the sequence.
        Example :
        Returns : a string
        Args    :

   get_dates
        Title   : get_dates
        Usage   :
        Function: Get (and set, depending on the implementation) the dates the
                  databank entry specified for the sequence

                  An implementation that allows modification of this array
                  property should provide the methods add_date and
                  remove_dates, with obvious purpose.

        Example :
        Returns : an array of strings
        Args    :

   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    :
        Note    : this differs from Bio::PrimarySeq version() in that this explicitly
                  refers to the sequence record version one would find in a typical
                  sequence file.  It is up to the implementation whether this is set
                  separately or falls back to the more generic Bio::Seq::version()

   get_keywords
        Title   : get_keywords
        Usage   : $obj->get_keywords()
        Function: Get the keywords for this sequence object.

                  An implementation that allows modification of this array
                  property should provide the methods add_keyword and
                  remove_keywords, with obvious purpose.

        Returns : an array of strings
        Args    :
