Interface SequenceFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

Deprecated.

use org.biojavax.bio.seq.io.RichSequenceBuilder or use org.biojavax.bio.seq.io.SequenceBuilder

public interface SequenceFactory

The interface for objects that will manufacture sequences.

The factory layer is in here as sequences are potentialy heavy-weight, so we want to decouple their possibly complicated creation from the code that wants to make them.
