Bio::DB::SeqHound - Database object interface to SeqHound

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::DB::SeqHound;
    $sh = Bio::DB::SeqHound->new();

    $seq = $sh->get_Seq_by_acc("CAA28783"); # Accession Number

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SeqHound is a database of biological sequences and structures.  This
script allows the retrieval of sequence objects (Bio::Seq) from the
SeqHound database at the Blueprint Initiative.

Bioperl extension permitting use of the SeqHound Database System
developed by researchers at

 The Blueprint Initiative
 Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute
 Mount Sinai Hospital
 Toronto, Canada

=head2 get_Seq_by_id

 Title   : get_Seq_by_id
 Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id('ROA1_HUMAN'); 
 Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by its name
 Returns : a Bio::Seq object
 Args    : the id (as a string) of a sequence
 Throws  : "id does not exist" exception
 Example : Each of these calls retrieves the same sequence record
 	   $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id(56);        #retrieval by GI
	   $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id("X02597");  #retrieval by NCBI accession
	   $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id("BTACHRE"); #retrieval by sequence "name"
	   a sequence "name" is a secondary identifier (usually assigned by the
	   submitting database external to the NCBI) that may not be visible in
	   the GenBank flat file version of the record but is always present in
	   the ASN.1 format.
 Note    : Since in GenBank.pm, this function accepts a gi, an accession number
           or a sequence name, SeqHound also satisfies these inputs.
	   If the input uid is a number, it is treated as a gi, if the uid is a
	   string, it is treated as an accession number first. If the search still
	   fails, it is treated as a sequence name.
	   Since SeqHound stores biological data from different source sequence
	   databases like: GenBank, GenPept, SwissProt, EMBL, RefSeq,
	   you can pass ids from the above databases to this function. 
	   The Bio::Seq object returned by this function is identical to the
	   Bio::Seq generated by the GenBank.pm and GenPept.pm.
	   The Bio::Seq object returned by this function sometimes has minor
	   difference in the SeqFeature from the Bio::Seq object generated 
	   in RefSeq.pm. 
	   The Bio::Seq objects created from this function will have the NCBI
	   versions of the SwissProt and EMBL sequence data information.

 Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by sequence version
 Returns : A Bio::Seq object
 Args    : accession.version (as a string)
 Throws  : "acc.version does not exist" exception
 Note    : SeqHound only keeps the most up-to-date version of a sequence. So

	   $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc('X77802');

=head2 get_Stream_by_query

  Title   : get_Stream_by_query
  Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Stream_by_query($query);
  Function: Retrieves Seq objects from Entrez 'en masse', rather than one
            at a time.  For large numbers of sequences, this is far superior
            than get_Stream_by_[id/acc]().
  Example : $query_string = 'Candida maltosa 26S ribosomal RNA gene'; 
  	    $query = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(-db=>'nucleotide',
                                        -query=>$query_string);
            $stream = $sh->get_Stream_by_query($query);

	    $stream = $sh->get_Stream_by_query($query);
  Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
  Args    : $query :   A Bio::DB::Query::GenBank object. It is suggested that
            you create a Bio::DB::Query::GenBank object and get the entry
            count before you fetch a potentially large stream.

  Title   : get_Stream_by_id
  Usage   : $stream = $db->get_Stream_by_id(['J05128', 'S43442', 34996479]);

  Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream object
  Args    : $ref : a reference to an array of unique identifiers for
                   the desired sequence entries, according to genbank.pm
		   this function accepts gi, accession number
		   and sequence name
  Note    : Since in GenBank.pm, this function accepts a gi, an accession number
            or a sequence name, SeqHound also satisfies these inputs.
	    If the input uid is a number, it is treated as a gi, if the uid is a
