11 =head1 NAME
|
|
12
|
|
13 Bio::Location::FuzzyLocationI - Abstract interface of a Location on a Sequence
|
|
14 which has unclear start/end location
|
|
15
|
|
16 =head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
17
|
|
18 # Get a FuzzyLocationI object somehow
|
|
19 print "Fuzzy FT location string is ", $location->to_FTstring();
|
|
20 print "location is of the type ", $location->loc_type, "\n";
|
|
21
|
|
22 =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
23
|
|
24 This interface encapsulates the necessary methods for representing a
|
|
25 Fuzzy Location, one that does not have clear start and/or end points.
|
|
26 This will initially serve to handle features from Genbank/EMBL feature
|
|
27 tables that are written as 1^100 meaning between bases 1 and 100 or
|
|
28 E<lt>100..300 meaning it starts somewhere before 100. Advanced
|
|
29 implementations of this interface may be able to handle the necessary
|
|
30 logic of overlaps/intersection/contains/union. It was constructed to
|
|
31 handle fuzzy locations that can be represented in Genbank/EMBL.

173
|
|
174 See Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI for documentation about
|
|
175 the policy object and its use.
|
|
176
|
|
177 The interface *does not* require implementing classes to accept
|
|
178 setting of a different policy. The implementation provided here
|
|
179 does, however, allow to do so.
|
|
180
|
|
181 Implementors of this interface are expected to initialize every
|
|
182 new instance with a CoordinatePolicyI object. The implementation
|
|
183 provided here will return a default policy object if none has
|
|
184 been set yet. To change this default policy object call this
|
|
185 method as a class method with an appropriate argument. Note that
|
|
186 in this case only subsequently created Location objects will be
|
|
187 affected.
|
|
188
|
|
189 Returns : A Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object.
|
|
190 Args : On set, a Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI implementing object.
