[Bioperl-l] removing Seq features

[hilmar.lapp@pharma.Novartis.com]

Interesting. For Generic features there is I think a flush_sub_SeqFeature()
or something similar, but it turns out to be absent from Seq. I guess this
has something to do with the supposed immutability of Seq objects, right
Ewan? Otherwise it's a bug.

We had a discussion some time ago about seq mutability. Given your context
of users dropping or adding features, you clearly need Seq objects as
mutable objects. I don't know how strongly Seq objects are supposed to be
immutable in BioPerl. Not least as you can change the sequence legally ...

Subject:  [Bioperl-l] removing Seq features


hi group,

is there a 'formal' way to remove features from a Seq object?  I see
that there is an add_SeqFeature method for the Seq object, but there
appears to be no equlivalent remove_SeqFeature method.

If not, I presume it is sufficient just to delete this feature from the
hash 'by force'?  ...or?

Any advice appreciated!

Mark
