[Bioperl-l] Restriction Enzyme module?

[Adrian Goldman]

Hi,

	I am trying to write a program that "cuts" DNA using RE.pm -- 
and it works fine, but I have a few questions.  (I am using v1.4.2.1, 
at least that is what the header in BIO::Tools::RestrictionEnzyme.pm 
says.)

	First, the documentation has this disturbing comment "I 
*think* that this is right for non-palindromic enzymes like TspRI, 
but i wouldn't bet  a lot of beer on it."  Is it OK now?  Or do I 
need to check?

	Second, what about "offset cutters" like BseRI, where the cut 
site can not be described as a single integer in relationship to the 
sequence, as it cuts 10 bp to the 5' side of the forwad strand 
recognition site and 8 bp to the 3' site of the reverse strand 
recognition site?  Is this coded internally at all?  If so, how would 
I feed it in using the standard methods (-NAME=>... 
-MAKE=>'custom')...)

	Any help would be MUCH appreciated....
