                                              String name,
                                              String seqString,
                                              Alphabet alpha)
                                       throws BioException

Create a new RichSequence in the specified namespace.

Parameters:

ns - The namespace to create the sequence in.

name - The name for the sequence. Will also be used for the accession.

seqString - The sequence string

alpha - The Alphabet for the sequence

Returns:

A new RichSequence. All versions are 1 or 1.0

Throws:

BioException - If the symbols in seqString are not valid in alpha

createRichSequence

public static RichSequence createRichSequence(String name,
                                              SymbolList syms)

Create a new RichSequence in the default namespace.

Parameters:

syms - The symbols to add to the sequence.

name - The name for the sequence. Will also be used for the accession.

Returns:

A new RichSequence. All versions are 1 or 1.0

createRichSequence

public static RichSequence createRichSequence(Namespace ns,
                                              String name,
                                              SymbolList syms)

Create a new RichSequence in the specified namespace.

Parameters:

ns - the namespace to create the sequence in.

syms - The symbols to add to the sequence.

name - The name for the sequence. Will also be used for the accession.

Returns:

A new RichSequence. All versions are 1 or 1.0

enrich

public static RichSequence enrich(Sequence s)
                           throws ChangeVetoException

Boldly attempts to convert a Sequence into a RichSequence. Sequences will be assigned to the default namespace. The accession will be assumed to be the name of the old sequence. The version of the sequence will be set to 0 and the seqversion set to 0.0. Features are converted to RichFeatures. The old Annotation bundle is converted to a RichAnnotation

Parameters:

s - The Sequence to enrich

Returns:

a new RichSequence

Throws:

ChangeVetoException - if s is locked or the conversion fails.

subSequence

public static RichSequence subSequence(RichSequence s,
                                       int from,
                                       int to,
                                       Namespace newNamespace,
                                       String newName,
                                       String newAccession,
                                       String newIdentifier,
                                       int newVersion,
                                       Double seqVersion)
                                throws IndexOutOfBoundsException

Creates a new sequence from a subregion of another sequence. The sequence is not a view. The sequence can be given a new Namespace, Accession, Name, Identifier etc. or you can copy over the old values. For unique identification in databases we recommend you change at least the name and identifier.

The new sequence will retain all features that are fully contained by the new subsequence, the note set (annotation), Taxon, and description, modified to reflect the subsequence as follows:

 seq.setDescription("subsequence (" + from + ":" + to + ") of "
                + s.getDescription());
 

No other properties are copied.

Parameters:

newVersion - the new version number

seqVersion - the new sequence version

s - the original RichSequence.

from - the 1st subsequence coordinate (inclusive)

to - the last subsequence coordinate (inclusive)

newNamespace - the new Namespace

newName - the new name

newAccession - the new accession number

newIdentifier - the new identifier

Returns:

A new RichSequence

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if from or to lie outside of the bounds of s.
