=head1 NAME

Bio::SeqUtils - Additional methods for PrimarySeq objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::SeqUtils;
    # get a Bio::PrimarySeqI compliant object, $seq, somehow
    $util = new Bio::SeqUtils;
    $polypeptide_3char = $util->seq3($seq);
    # or
    $polypeptide_3char = Bio::SeqUtils->seq3($seq);

    # set the sequence string (stored in one char code in the object)
    Bio::SeqUtils->seq3($seq, $polypeptide_3char);

    # translate a sequence in all six frames
    @seqs = Bio::SeqUtils->translate_6frames($seq);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a holder of methods that work on Bio::PrimarySeqI-
compliant sequence objects, e.g. Bio::PrimarySeq and
Bio::Seq. These methods are not part of the Bio::PrimarySeqI
interface and should in general not be essential to the primary function
of sequence objects. If you are thinking of adding essential
functions, it might be better to create your own sequence class.
See L<Bio::PrimarySeqI>, L<Bio::PrimarySeq>, and L<Bio::Seq> for more.

The methods take as their first argument a sequence object. It is
possible to use methods without first creating a SeqUtils object,
i.e. use it as an anonymous hash.

The first two methods, seq3() and seq3in(), give out or read in protein
sequences coded in three letter IUPAC amino acid codes.

The next two methods, translate_3frames() and translate_6frames(), wrap
around the standard translate method to give back an array of three
forward or all six frame translations.

=head2 seq3

 Title   : seq3
 Usage   : $string = Bio::SeqUtils->seq3($seq)
 Function:

           Read only method that returns the amino acid sequence as a
           string of three letter codes. alphabet has to be
           'protein'. Output follows the IUPAC standard plus 'Ter' for
           terminator. Any unknown character, including the default
           unknown character 'X', is changed into 'Xaa'. A noncoded
           aminoacid selenocystein is recognized (Sec, U).

 Returns : A scalar
 Args    : character used for stop in the protein sequence optional,
           defaults to '*' string used to separate the output amino
           acid codes, optional, defaults to ''

           Method for in-place changing of the sequence of a
           Bio::PrimarySeqI sequence object. The three letter amino
           acid input string is converted into one letter code.  Any
           unknown character triplet, including the default 'Xaa', is
           converted into 'X'.

 Returns : Bio::PrimarySeq object;
 Args    : character to be used for stop in the protein seqence,
              optional, defaults to '*'
