Bio::Coordinate::Utils - Additional methods to create Bio::Coordinate objects
use Bio::Coordinate::Utils;
# get a Bio::Align::AlignI compliant object, $aln, somehow
# it could be a Bio::SimpleAlign
$mapper = Bio::Coordinate::Utils->from_align($aln, 1);
This class is a holder of methods that work on or create Bio::Coordinate::MapperI- compliant objects. . These methods are not part of the Bio::Coordinate::MapperI interface and should in general not be essential to the primary function of sequence objects. If you are thinking of adding essential functions, it might be better to create your own sequence class. See the Bio::PrimarySeqI manpage, the Bio::PrimarySeq manpage, and the Bio::Seq manpage for more.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : from_align
Usage : $mapper = Bio::Coordinate::Utils->from_align($aln, 1);
Function:
Create a mapper out of an alignment.
The mapper will return a value only when both ends of
the input range find a match.
Note: This implementation works only on pairwise alignments
and is not yet well tested!
Returns : A Bio::Coordinate::MapperI
Args : Bio::Align::AlignI object
Id for the reference sequence, optional
