Bio::Search::DatabaseIUser Contributed Perl DocumentaBio::Search::DatabaseI(3) NAME Bio::Search::DatabaseI - Interface for a database used in a sequence search SYNOPSIS Bio::Search::DatabaseI objects should not be instantiated since this module defines a pure interface. Given an object that implements the Bio::Search::DatabaseI interface, you can do the following things with it: $name = $db->name(); $date = $db->date(); $num_letters = $db->letters(); $num_entries = $db->entries(); DESCRIPTION This module defines methods for an object that provides metadata information about a database used for sequence searching.
