Bio::DB::UpdateableSeqI - An interface for writing to a database of sequences.
# get a Bio::DB::UpdateableSeqI somehow
eval {
my ( @updatedseqs, @newseqs, @deadseqs);
my $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN');
$seq->desc('a new description');
push @updatedseqs, $seq;
$db->write_seq(\@updatedseqs, \@newseqs, \@deadseqs);
};
if( $@ ) {
print STDERR "an error when trying to write seq : $@\n";
}
This module seeks to provide a simple method for pushing sequence changes back
to a Sequence Database - which can be an SQL compliant database, a file based
database, AceDB, etc.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal
methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : write_seq
Usage : write_seq(\@updatedseqs, \@addedseqs, \@deadseqs)
Function: updates sequences in first array,
adds sequences in the second array,
and removes sequences in the third array.
Example :
Returns :
Args : arrays of sequence objects that must be obtained from
Bio::DB::UpdateableSeqI.
Title : _add_seq
Usage : _add_seq($seq)
Function: Adds a new sequence
Example :
Returns : will throw an exception if
sequences accession number already exists
Args : a new seq object - should have an accession number
Title : _remove_seq
Usage : _remove_seq($seq)
Function: Removes an existing sequence
Example :
Returns : will throw an exception if
sequence does not exists for the primary_id
Args : a seq object that was retrieved from Bio::DB::UpdateableSeqI
Title : _update_seq
Usage : _update_seq($seq)
Function: Updates a sequence
Example :
Returns : will throw an exception if
sequence is out of sync from expected val.
Args : a seq object that was retrieved from Bio::DB::UpdateableSeqI
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_PrimarySeq_stream
Usage : $stream = get_PrimarySeq_stream
Function: Makes a Bio::DB::SeqStreamI compliant object
which provides a single method, next_primary_seq
Returns : Bio::DB::SeqStreamI
Args : none
Title : get_all_ids
Usage : @ids = $seqdb->get_all_primary_ids()
Function: gives an array of all the primary_ids of the
sequence objects in the database. These
maybe ids (display style) or accession numbers
or something else completely different - they
*are not* meaningful outside of this database
implementation.
Example :
Returns : an array of strings
Args : none
Title : get_Seq_by_primary_id
Usage : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_primary_id($primary_id_string);
Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by the primary id. The primary
id in these cases has to come from $db->get_all_primary_ids.
There is no other way to get (or guess) the primary_ids
in a database.
The other possibility is to get Bio::PrimarySeqI objects
via the get_PrimarySeq_stream and the primary_id field
on these objects are specified as the ids to use here.
Returns : A Bio::Seq object
Args : accession number (as a string)
Throws : "acc does not exist" exception
