Interface RichSequenceDB
- All Superinterfaces:
- BioEntryDB, BioEntryDBLite, Changeable, RichSequenceDBLite, SequenceDB, SequenceDBLite
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- AbstractRichSequenceDB, BioSQLRichSequenceDB, GenbankRichSequenceDB, GenpeptRichSequenceDB, HashRichSequenceDB
public interface RichSequenceDB
- extends SequenceDB, BioEntryDB, RichSequenceDBLite
A database of RichSequences with accessible keys and iterators over all
sequences.
This may have several implementations with rich behaviour, but basically most
of the time you will just use the interface methods to do stuff. A sequence
database contains a finite number of sequences stored under unique keys.

sequenceIterator
SequenceIterator sequenceIterator()
- Returns a SequenceIterator over all sequences in the database. The order
of retrieval is undefined.
Will always return an instance of RichSequenceIterator.
- Specified by:
sequenceIterator in interface SequenceDB

getRichSequenceIterator
RichSequenceIterator getRichSequenceIterator()
- Returns a RichSequenceIterator over all sequences in the database. The order
of retrieval is undefined.
