Bio::DB::InMemoryCache - Abstract interface for a sequence database
$cachedb = Bio::DB::InMemoryCache->new( -seqdb => $real_db,
-number => 1000);
#
# get a database object somehow using a concrete class
#
$seq = $cachedb->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN');
#
# $seq is a Bio::Seq object
#
This is a memory cache system which saves the objects returned by
Bio::DB::RandomAccessI in memory to a hard limit of sequences.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal
methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : get_Seq_by_id
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN')
Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by its name
Returns : a Bio::Seq object
Args : the id (as a string) of a sequence
Throws : "id does not exist" exception
Title : get_Seq_by_acc
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('X77802');
Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by accession number
Returns : A Bio::Seq object
Args : accession number (as a string)
Throws : "acc does not exist" exception
Title : get_Seq_by_version
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_version('X77802.1');
Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by sequence version
Returns : A Bio::Seq object
Args : accession.version (as a string)
Throws : "acc.version does not exist" exception
