🌸 TFBS::Word 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to TFBS::Word(3pm) — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ NAME ✨

TFBS::Word — the base class for word-based patterns 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so TFBS::Word is a base class, right? it's got two jobs and it does both flawlessly:

  • it's the universal constructor that all its subclasses — hey TFBS::Matrix::* 👋 — call up when they need to be born
  • plus it's got all the word pattern manipulation methods that work no matter what type of word you're dealing with. type-independent, periodt 💅
⚠️ but listen: it is not meant to be instantiated itself. it's the mother, not the baby. do not new this one directly, bestie, I'm begging 🙈

🎀 FEEDBACK 🎀

found a bug? got thoughts? got feelings? send bug reports and other comments to the author 🫶 don't be shy.

🌈 APPENDIX 🌈

the rest of this doc breaks down each of the object methods one by one, no skips, no crumbs. and heads up: internal methods are preceded with an underscore — if you see a _, that's ✨ private business ✨, iykyk.

🧚 new

the constructor, babes 🌱

🍓 word

the word itself, fr fr 🌸

💅 validate_word

Required in all subclasses — no cap, every single subclass has gotta bring this one or it simply doesn't count 💀

⭐ length

the length, obviously ✨

🔥 search_seq

search a sequence, slay 🔍

🦋 search_aln

search an alignment, also slay 🧬

and that's the whole vibe, bestie 💖 this was TFBS::Word(3pm), perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-21 — go forth, call the subclasses, and never instantiate the base class itself. mwah 😘👑
