=head1 NAME
Bio::Location::Atomic - Implementation of a Atomic Location on a Sequence
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Location::Atomic;
my $location = Bio::Location::Atomic->new(-start => 1, -end => 100,
-strand => 1 );
if( $location->strand == -1 ) {
printf "complement(%d..%d)\n", $location->start, $location->end;
} else {
printf "%d..%d\n", $location->start, $location->end;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an implementation of Bio::LocationI to manage simple location
information on a Sequence.
=head1 FEEDBACK
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

=head2 Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 is_remote
Title : is_remote
Usage : $is_remote_loc = $loc->is_remote()
Function: Whether or not a location is a remote location.
A location is said to be remote if it is on a different
'object' than the object which 'has' this
location. Typically, features on a sequence will sometimes
have a remote location, which means that the location of
the feature is on a different sequence than the one that is
attached to the feature. In such a case, $loc->seq_id will
be different from $feat->seq_id (usually they will be the
same).
While this may sound weird, it reflects the location of the
kind of AL445212.9:83662..166657 which can be found in GenBank/EMBL
feature tables.
Example :
Returns : TRUE if the location is a remote location, and FALSE otherwise
Args : Value to set to
=cut
sub is_remote {
my $self = shift;
if( @_ ) {
my $value = shift;
$self->{'is_remote'} = $value;
}
return $self->{'is_remote'};
}
=head2 each_Location
Title : each_Location
Usage : @locations = $locObject->each_Location($order);
Function: Conserved function call across Location:: modules - will
return an array containing the component Location(s) in
that object, regardless if the calling object is itself a
single location or one containing sublocations.
Returns : an array of Bio::LocationI implementing objects - for
Simple locations, the return value is just itself.
Args :
=cut
sub each_Location {
my ($self) = @_;
return ($self);
}
=head2 to_FTstring
Title : to_FTstring
Usage : my $locstr = $location->to_FTstring()
Function: returns the FeatureTable string of this location
Returns : string
Args : none
=cut
sub to_FTstring {
my($self) = @_;
if( $self->start == $self->end ) {
return $self->start;
}
my $str = $self->start . ".." . $self->end;
if( $self->strand == -1 ) {
$str = sprintf("complement(%s)", $str);
}
return $str;
}
=head2 valid_Location
Title : valid_Location
Usage : if ($location->valid_location) {...};
Function: boolean method to determine whether location is considered valid
(has minimum requirements for Simple implementation)
Returns : Boolean value: true if location is valid, false otherwise
Args : none
=cut
sub valid_Location {
my ($self) = @_;
return 1 if $self->{'_start'} && $self->{'_end'};
return 0;
}
=head2 coordinate_policy
Title : coordinate_policy
Usage : $policy = $location->coordinate_policy();
$location->coordinate_policy($mypolicy); # set may not be possible
Function: Get the coordinate computing policy employed by this object.
See L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> for documentation
about the policy object and its use.
The interface *does not* require implementing classes to
accept setting of a different policy. The implementation
provided here does, however, allow one to do so.
Implementors of this interface are expected to initialize
every new instance with a
L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> object. The
implementation provided here will return a default policy
object if none has been set yet. To change this default
policy object call this method as a class method with an
appropriate argument. Note that in this case only
subsequently created Location objects will be affected.
Returns : A L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> implementing object.
Args : On set, a L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> implementing object.
See L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> for more information
=cut
sub coordinate_policy {
my ($self, $policy) = @_;
if(defined($policy)) {
if(! $policy->isa('Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI')) {
$self->throw("Object of class ".ref($policy)." does not implement".
" Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI");
}
if(ref($self)) {
$self->{'_coordpolicy'} = $policy;
} else {
# called as class method
$coord_policy = $policy;
}
}
return (ref($self) && exists($self->{'_coordpolicy'}) ?
$self->{'_coordpolicy'} : $coord_policy);
}
=head2 trunc
Title : trunc
Usage : $trunc_location = $location->trunc($start, $end, $relative_ori);
Function: To truncate a location and keep annotations and features
within the truncated segment intact.
This might do things differently where the truncation
splits the location in half.
CAVEAT : As yet, this is an untested and unannounced method. Use
with caution!
Returns : A L<Bio::Location::Atomic> object.
Args : The start and end position for the trunction, and the relative
orientation.
=cut
sub trunc {
my ($self,$start,$end,$relative_ori) = @_;
my $newstart = $self->start - $start+1;
my $newend = $self->end - $start+1;
