NAME

       Bio::Seq::SeqFactory - Instantiation of generic Bio::PrimarySeqI (or derived) objects through a factory

SYNOPSIS

           use Bio::Seq::SeqFactory;
           my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
           my $primaryseq = $factory->create( -seq => 'WYRAVLC',
                                              -id  => 'name'     );

           # Create Bio::Seq instead of Bio::PrimarySeq objects:
           my $factory = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new( -type => 'Bio::Seq' );

DESCRIPTION

       This object will build Bio::PrimarySeqI and Bio::SeqI objects generically.

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

   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 of the bugs and their resolution.

APPENDIX

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

   new
        Title   : new
        Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Seq::SeqFactory->new();
        Function: Builds a new Bio::Seq::SeqFactory object
        Returns : Bio::Seq::SeqFactory
        Args    : -type => string, name of a PrimarySeqI derived class
                           This is optional. Default=Bio::PrimarySeq.

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

   type
        Title   : type
        Usage   : $obj->type($newval)
        Function:
        Returns : value of type
        Args    : newvalue (optional)
