For a few days I’ve been testing the waters of the SEED Web Services methods and trying to get a feel for the different ways they could be implemented, and at the same time was doing the same for BioJava. After aquiring enough knowledge of sequences, pegs, and other things I was finally able to get them to use each other’s methods to display and store information for anyone to use. Here is a really simple example where the Web Services obtains a genome ID, “83333.1”, and a region on the chromosome, “NC_000913_1303788_1304792”, and then returns a sequence. Then, BioJava uses its createDNA() method to convert the sequence into an object it can manipulate. The code then prints out different properties held by the sequence.
