Detailed Description

A Range object specifies a region via discrete, inclusive start and end positions that correspond to indices for characters in the elements String of a Sequence. Note that the index of the first location is 1, as is typical practice in biology, rather than 0, as is typical practice in computer science.

Public Attributes
IntProperty	start
	Specifies the inclusive starting position of a sequence region. It must be 1 or greater.

IntProperty	end
	Specifies the inclusive end position of a sequence region. It must be equal to or greater than the start.

URIProperty	orientation
	The orientation indicates how a region of double-stranded DNA represented by the parent SequenceAnnotation and its associated Component are oriented. More...

ReferencedObject	sequence
	Links a Location to the Sequence it is annotating, in case the parent ComponentDefinition has multiple Sequences and it is ambiguous which Sequence the Location is referring to.

URIProperty	persistentIdentity
	The persistentIdentity property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of URI. This URI serves to uniquely refer to a set of SBOL objects that are different versions of each other. An Identified object MUST be referred to using either its identity URI or its persistentIdentity URI.

TextProperty	displayId
	The displayId property is an OPTIONAL identifier with a data type of String. This property is intended to be an intermediate between name and identity that is machine-readable, but more human-readable than the full URI of an identity. If the displayId property is used, then its String value SHOULD be locally unique (global uniqueness is not necessary) and MUST be composed of only alphanumeric or underscore characters and MUST NOT begin with a digit.

VersionProperty	version
	If the version property is used, then it is RECOMMENDED that version numbering follow the conventions of semantic versioning, particularly as implemented by Maven. This convention represents versions as sequences of numbers and qualifiers that are separated by the characters “.” and “-” and are compared in lexicographical order (for example, 1 < 1.3.1 < 2.0-beta). For a full explanation, see the linked resources.

URIProperty	wasDerivedFrom
	The wasDerivedFrom property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of URI. An SBOL object with this property refers to another SBOL object or non-SBOL resource from which this object was derived. If the wasDerivedFrom property of an SBOL object A that refers to an SBOL object B has an identical persistentIdentity, and both A and B have a version, then the version of B MUST precede that of A. In addition, an SBOL object MUST NOT refer to itself via its own wasDerivedFrom property or form a cyclical chain of references via its wasDerivedFrom property and those of other SBOL objects. For example, the reference chain “ A was derived from B and B was derived from A” is cyclical.

ReferencedObject	wasGeneratedBy
	An Activity which generated this ComponentDefinition, eg., a design process like codon-optimization or a construction process like Gibson Assembly.

TextProperty	name
	The name property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of String. This property is intended to be displayed to a human when visualizing an Identified object. If an Identified object lacks a name, then software tools SHOULD instead display the object’s displayId or identity. It is RECOMMENDED that software tools give users the ability to switch perspectives between name properties that are human-readable and displayId properties that are less human-readable, but are more likely to be unique.

TextProperty	description
	The description property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of String. This property is intended to contain a more thorough text description of an Identified object.

URIProperty	identity
	The identity property is REQUIRED by all Identified objects and has a data type of URI. A given Identified object’s identity URI MUST be globally unique among all other identity URIs. The identity of a compliant SBOL object MUST begin with a URI prefix that maps to a domain over which the user has control. Namely, the user can guarantee uniqueness of identities within this domain. For other best practices regarding URIs see Section 11.2 of the SBOL specification doucment.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Range()

Range	(	std::string	uri = `"example"`,
		int	start = `1`,
		int	end = `2`
	)

inline

Construct a Range.

If operating in SBOL-compliant mode, use SequenceAnnotation::locations.create < Range > instead.

Parameters

uri	If operating in open-world mode, this should be a full URI including a scheme, namespace, and identifier. If SBOLCompliance configuration is enabled, then this argument is simply the displayId for the new object and a full URI will automatically be constructed.
start	An integer of 1 or greater
end	An integer equal to or greater than the start

Member Function Documentation
