=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::SwissProt - Database object interface to SwissProt retrieval

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::DB::SwissProt;

    $sp = new Bio::DB::SwissProt;

    $seq = $sp->get_Seq_by_id('KPY1_ECOLI'); # SwissProt ID
    # <4-letter-identifier>_<species 5-letter code>
    # or ...
    $seq = $sp->get_Seq_by_acc('P43780'); # SwissProt AC      
    # [OPQ]xxxxx


    # In fact in this implementation 
    # these methods call the same webscript so you can use 
    # then interchangeably

    # choose a different server to query
    $sp = new Bio::DB::SwissProt('-servertype' => 'expasy',
				 '-hostlocation' => 'us');

    $seq = $sp->get_Seq_by_id('BOLA_HAEIN'); # SwissProtID

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SwissProt is a curated database of proteins managed by the Swiss
Bioinformatics Institute.  This is in contrast to EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ
which are archives of protein information.  Additional tools for
parsing and manipulating swissprot files can be found at
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/swissprot/Swissknife/.

Allows the dynamic retrieval of Sequence objects (Bio::Seq) from the
SwissProt database via an expasy retrieval.  Perhaps through SRS
later.

In order to make changes transparent we have host type (currently only
expasy) and location (default to switzerland) separated out.  This
allows the user to pick the closest expasy mirror for running their
queries.

Thanks go to Alexandre Gattiker E<lt>[e-mail]<gt> of Swiss
Institute of Bioinformatics for helping point us in the direction of
the correct expasy scripts and for swissknife references.

Also thanks to Heikki Lehvaslaiho E<lt>[e-mail]<gt> for help with
adding EBI swall server.

=head2 get_Seq_by_id

 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

=cut

=head2 get_Seq_by_acc

 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

=cut

=head2 get_Stream_by_id

  Title   : get_Stream_by_id
  Usage   : $stream = $db->get_Stream_by_id( [$uid1, $uid2] );
  Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by unique identifiers
  Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
  Args    : $ref : a reference to an array of unique identifiers for
                   the desired sequence entries

=cut

=head2 get_Stream_by_acc

  Title   : get_Stream_by_acc
  Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc([$acc1, $acc2]);
  Function: Gets a series of Seq objects by accession numbers
  Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
  Args    : $ref : a reference to an array of accession numbers for
                   the desired sequence entries

  Title   : get_Stream_by_batch
  Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Stream_by_batch($ref);

            at a time.  This is implemented the same way as get_Stream_by_id, 
            but is provided here in keeping with access methods of NCBI 
            modules.
  Example :
  Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
  Args    : $ref : either an array reference, a filename, or a filehandle
            from which to get the list of unique ids/accession numbers.
