Bio::F...Factory(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory — a FeatureTable location parser, bestie. It literally turns those Genbank location strings into actual location objects and honestly? iconic behavior. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the whole vibe in two lines:

# parse a string into a location object
$loc = Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->from_string("join(100..200,
                                                     400..500");

(Yes, that closing paren is a little shy. We keep it exactly as the ancestors wrote it. 🫶)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It's the implementation of string-encoded location parsing for the Genbank feature table encoding of locations. That's the whole job, and it does the job. No notes. 💅

🫶 Support

Please direct usage questions and support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

...rather than to the module maintainer directly. Why? Because there are many experienced and responsive experts who can look at your problem and quickly address it. Bestie, that's a whole squad. 🌈

If at all possible, please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples. The more detail, the faster the slay. ✨

ngl, "reponsive" is how the original spelled it — we're preserving that typo like a precious artifact. 🫡

🎀 APPENDIX 🎀

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ (iykyk, that underscore is the "don't touch, private business" marker 🙈).

⭐ new

• Title: new
• Usage: my $obj = Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory->new();
• Function: Builds a new Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory object
• Returns: an instance of Bio::Factory::FTLocationFactory
• Args: (nothing, it takes no args, it's low maintenance like that)

⭐ from_string

• Title: from_string
• Usage: $loc = $locfactory->from_string("100..200");
• Function: Parses the given string and returns a Bio::LocationI implementing object representing the location encoded by the string.

This implementation parses the Genbank feature table encoding of locations. 💅

• Example: (empty in the original — it's giving mysterious ✨)
• Returns: A Bio::LocationI implementing object.
• Args: A string.

⭐ _parse_location

• Title: _parse_location
• Usage: $loc = $locfactory->_parse_location( $loc_string)
• Function: Parses the given location string and returns a location object with start() and end() and strand() set appropriately. Note that this method is private — that underscore is a boundary, bestie, respect it. 🚧
• Returns: A Bio::LocationI implementing object or undef on failure
• Args: location string
