Sequence records

The SeqRecord type is used to represent a named sequence, optionally with accompanying metadata. It is defined as: sequence. It is as:

type SeqRecord{S, T}
    name::String
    seq::S
    metadata::T
end

The type of the metadata field depends on the source of the sequence record. For example, if a record is read from a FASTA file, metadata contains the description field. If from a FASTQ file, a quality scores assigned to base calls during sequencing.

The following accessors are defined for the SeqRecord type:

# Bio.seqname — Function.

seqname(record)

Return the sequence name of record.

source

# Bio.sequence — Function.

sequence(record)

Return the sequence of record.

source

# Bio.metadata — Function.

metadata(record)

Return the metadata of record.
