    Returns true if the point is higher in value to the current point
    boolean
    isLower(Point point)
    Returns true if the current point is at a lower position than the point given.
    boolean
    isUncertain()
    Returns a true if the exact point is unknown.
    boolean

  • Method Details

    • getPosition

      Integer getPosition()
      Returns the position held by this object

    • isUnknown

      boolean isUnknown()
      Returns true if the current position is unknown but is beyond the position encoded for. This is the same as the position 
       >80
      as encoded by UniProt.

    • isUncertain

      boolean isUncertain()
      Returns a true if the exact point is unknown. Equivalent position from UniProt is 
       ?80
      .

    • reverse

      Point reverse(int length)
      Returns the equivalent position on the reverse strand
      Parameters:
      length - Length of the sequence to translate to

    • offset

      Point offset(int distance)
      Returns a new point offset by the given distance

    • isLower

      boolean isLower(Point point)
      Returns true if the current point is at a lower position than the point given.

    • isHigher

      boolean isHigher(Point point)
      Returns true if the point is higher in value to the current point

    • clonePoint

      Point clonePoint()
      Returns a copy of this point
