[Bioperl-l] X.Y Fuzzy locations no longer supported in GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ

[Brian Osborne]

Chris,

No, I don't think they use the form X.Y. See below, from
t/LocationFactory.t, we do support most of the forms using ?. Supposedly
these tests accommodate all of the possible fuzzy locations encountered in
Swissprot, I wrote these a year or so ago.

        # UNCERTAIN locations and positions (Swissprot)
   "?2465..2774" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       2465, 2465, "UNCERTAIN", 2774, 2774, "EXACT", "EXACT", 1, 1],
   "22..?64" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       22, 22, "EXACT", 64, 64, "UNCERTAIN", "EXACT", 1, 1],
   "?22..?64" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       22, 22, "UNCERTAIN", 64, 64, "UNCERTAIN", "EXACT", 1, 1],
   "?..>393" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", 393, undef, "AFTER", "UNCERTAIN", 1, 1],
   "<1..?" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       undef, 1, "BEFORE", undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", "UNCERTAIN", 1, 1],
   "?..536" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", 536, 536, "EXACT", "UNCERTAIN", 1, 1],
   "1..?" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       1, 1, "EXACT", undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", "UNCERTAIN", 1, 1],
   "?..?" => [$fuzzy_impl,
       undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", undef, undef, "UNCERTAIN", "UNCERTAIN", 1,
1],
   # Not working yet:
   #"12..?1" => [$fuzzy_impl,
   #    1, 1, "UNCERTAIN", 12, 12, "EXACT", "EXACT", 1, 1]
