Hi,
I was wondering if anybody uses the interfaces in
org.biojava.bio.seq.genomic to capture the actual types of features. At
the moment, these interfaces are decoupled from the Feature.getType()
property and there is no enforcement that children must be of the
correct type.
We could add a feature types repository to biojava that would allow you
to state that exons must have trancripts as parents, and that
transcripts can have exons but not Genes as children, and so on. Then,
the Feature.getType() could return a type ID that could be resolved to
these rules. Feature types that don't look like IDs would continue to
function as now.
So, does anyone use the seq.genomic classes, do people feel attached to
them, and would you cry if they dissapeard?
