Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper(3)

NAME
Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper - Helper class for Embl/Genbank feature tables

SYNOPSIS
Used by Bio::SeqIO::EMBL,Bio::SeqIO::genbank, and Bio::SeqIO::swiss to help process the Feature Table

DESCRIPTION
Represents one particular Feature with the following fields

      key - the key of the feature
      loc - the location string of the feature
      <other fields> - other fields

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.

  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.

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

  _generic_seqfeature
 Title   : _generic_seqfeature
 Usage   : $fthelper->_generic_seqfeature($annseq, "GenBank")
 Function: processes fthelper into a generic seqfeature
 Returns : TRUE on success and otherwise FALSE
 Args    : The Bio::Factory::LocationFactoryI object to use for parsing
           location strings. The ID (e.g., display_id) of the sequence on which
           this feature is located, optionally a string indicating the source
           (GenBank/EMBL/SwissProt)

  from_SeqFeature
 Title   : from_SeqFeature
 Usage   : @fthelperlist = Bio::SeqIO::FTHelper::from_SeqFeature($sf,
                                                     $context_annseq);
 Function: constructor of fthelpers from SeqFeatures
         :
         : The additional annseq argument is to allow the building of FTHelper
         : lines relevant to particular sequences (ie, when features are spread over
         : enteries, knowing how to build this)
