15 Bio::Symbol::AlphabetI - A Symbol Alphabet
|
|
16
|
|
17 =head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
18
|
|
19 # get a Bio::Symbol::AlphabetI object somehow
|
|
20 my @symbols = $alphabet->symbols;
|
|
21 my @subalphas = $alphabet->alphabets;
|
|
22 if( $alphabet->contains($symbol) ) {
|
|
23 # do something
|
|
24 }
|

25
|
|
26 =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
27
|
|
28 Alphabet contains set of symbols, which can be concatenated to form
|
|
29 symbol lists. Sequence string, for example, is stringified
|
|
30 representation of the symbol list (tokens of symbols).
|
|
31
|
|
32 This module was implemented for the purposes of meeting the
|
|
33 BSANE/BioCORBA spec 0.3 only.
