[Bioperl-l] Bio::Restriction::Enzyme

[Brian Osborne]

Nathan,

I don't know how this is supposed to work, there would be different ways to
make is_prototype true. One way would be to make the enzyme with the first
occurrence of a given restriction site the prototype (and the next enzymes
with the same site are isoschizomers). Or, one could wait until one site had
appeared twice, with 2 different enzymes, then make the first the prototype,
etc. I would have done it the first way myself but I took a quick look at
IO/withrefm.pm and it looks like it's doing it the second way. That means
one can read an enzyme file and end up with no duplicated restriction sites,
or prototypes and isoschizomers.
