18
|
|
19 use Bio::Symbol::Symbol;
|
|
20 my $thymine = new Bio::Symbol::Symbol(-name => 'Thy',
|
|
21 -token=> 'T');
|
|
22 my $a = new Bio::Symbol::Symbol(-token => 'A' );
|
|
23 my $u = new Bio::Symbol::Symbol(-token => 'U' );
|
|
24 my $g = new Bio::Symbol::Symbol(-token => 'G' );
|
|
25
|
|
26 my $M = new Bio::Symbol::Symbol(-name => 'Met',
|
|
27 -token => 'M',
|
|
28 -symbols => [ $a, $u, $g ]);
|
|
29
|
|
30 my ($name,$token) = ($a->name, $a->token);

|
31 my @symbols = $a->symbols;
|

32 my $matches = $a->matches;

34 =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
35
|
|
36 Symbol represents a single token in the sequence. Symbol can have
|
|
37 multiple synonyms or matches within the same Alphabet, which
|
|
38 makes possible to represent ambiguity codes and gaps.
|
|
39
|
|
40 Symbols can be also composed from ordered list other symbols. For
|
|
41 example, codons can be represented by single Symbol using a
|
|
42 compound Alphabet made from three DNA Alphabets.
|
|
43
|
|
44 This module was implemented for the purposes of meeting the
|
|
45 BSANE/BioCORBA spec 0.3 only.
