Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence(3)

NAME
Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence - A position with a sequence.

SYNOPSIS
    use Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence;

    my $pos = Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence->new(-map => $map,
                                -element => $element,
                                -start => 0,
                                -seq => 'ATGC');

DESCRIPTION
Have a position with a sequence, eg. define what the binding site sequence of a certain transcription factor binding site is by modelling it as one of these objects with the -element assigned to a Bio::Map::TranscriptionFactor instance.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  new
 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence object
 Returns : Bio::Map::PositionWithSequence
 Args    : -map      => Bio::Map::GeneMap object
           -element  => Bio::Map::Gene object
           -relative => Bio::Map::GeneRelative object
           -seq      => string, length of this string will set the length
                        of this position's range

           * If this position has no range, or if a single value can describe
             the range *
           -value => scalar             : something that describes the single
                                          point position or range of this
                                          Position, most likely an int

           * Or if this position has a range, at least two of *
           -start => int                : value of the start co-ordinate
           -end => int                  : value of the end co-ordinate
           -length => int               : length of the range

  seq
 Title   : seq
 Usage   : my $string = $obj->seq();
 Function: Get/set the sequence as a string of letters.
 Returns : scalar
 Args    : Optionally on set the new value (a string). An optional second
           argument presets the alphabet (otherwise it will be guessed).
