- Method Detail
  - getPosition
```
Integer getPosition()
```
    Returns the position held by this object
  - isUnknown
```
boolean isUnknown()
```
    Returns true if the current position is unknown but is beyond the position encoded for. This is the same as the position
    >80
    as encoded by UniProt.
  - isUncertain
```
boolean isUncertain()
```
    Returns a true if the exact point is unknown. Equivalent position from UniProt is
    ?80
    .
  - reverse
```
Point reverse(int length)
```
    Returns the equivalent position on the reverse strand
    
    Parameters:
    
    length - Length of the sequence to translate to
  - offset
```
Point offset(int distance)
```
    Returns a new point offset by the given distance
  - isLower
```
boolean isLower(Point point)
```
    Returns true if the current point is at a lower position than the point given.
  - isHigher
```
boolean isHigher(Point point)
```
    Returns true if the point is higher in value to the current point
  - clonePoint
```
Point clonePoint()
```
    Returns a copy of this point
