Summary

Bio::DB::GFF::Adaptor::biofetch -- Cache BioFetch objects in a Bio::DB::GFF database

Package variables

Included modules

Inherit

Bio::DB::GFF::Adaptor::dbi::mysql

Synopsis

Proof of principle. Not for production use.

Description

This adaptor is a proof-of-principle. It is used to fetch BioFetch
sequences into a Bio::DB::GFF database (currently uses a hard-coded
EMBL database) as needed. This allows the Generic Genome Browser to
be used as a Genbank/EMBL browser.

Methods description

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new(-adaptor=>'biofetch',@args)
 Function: create a new adaptor
 Returns : a Bio::DB::GFF object
 Args    :   -adaptor : required.  Which adaptor to use; biofetch for mysql, biofetch_oracle for Oracle
             -preferred_tags : optional.  A hash of {classname => weight,...}
                               used to determine the class and name of the feature
                               when a choice of possible feature classes is available
                               (e.g. a feature has both a 'gene' and a 'locus' tag).
                               Common defaults are provided that work well for eukaryotic
                               features (but not well for viral/prokaryotic)
              see below for additional arguments.
 Status  : Public

  Argument       Description
  --------       -----------

  -dsn           the DBI data source, e.g. 'dbi:mysql:ens0040'

  -user          username for authentication

  -pass          the password for authentication

  -proxy         [['http','ftp'],'http://proxy:8080']

  -source        source to use for loaded features ('EMBL')
