Constructor Detail

NCBISequenceDB

public NCBISequenceDB()

Default constructor, querys the Genbank nucleotide database on "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi" and retrieves sequences in FastaFormat.

NCBISequenceDB

public NCBISequenceDB(java.lang.String database,
                      SequenceFormat format)

Parameterized constructor

Parameters:

database - must be one of "nucleotide" or "protein" (use the static DB fields)

format - must be one of GenbankFormat or FastaFormat

Throws:

BioRuntimeException - if the database or format is invalid

NCBISequenceDB

public NCBISequenceDB(java.lang.String server,
                      java.lang.String CGI,

                      SequenceFormat format)
               throws BioRuntimeException

Parameterized constructor

Parameters:

server - eg "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/"

CGI - eg "entrez/query.fcgi"

database - must be one of "nucleotide" or "protein" (use the static DB fields)

format - must be one of GenbankFormat or FastaFormat

Throws:
