=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::Query::GenBank - Build a GenBank Entrez Query

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Bio::DB::Query::GenBank;
   use Bio::DB::GenBank;

   my $query_string = 'Oryza[Organism] AND EST[Keyword]';
   my $query = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(-db => 'nucleotide',
                                            -query => $query_string,
                                            -mindate => '2001',
                                            -maxdate => '2002');

   print $query->count,"\n";

   # get a Genbank database handle
   my $gb = Bio::DB::GenBank->new();
   my $stream = $gb->get_Stream_by_query($query);
   while (my $seq = $stream->next_seq) {
      # do something with the sequence object
   }

   # initialize the list yourself
   my $query = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(-ids=>[195052,2981014,11127914]);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class encapsulates NCBI Entrez queries.  It can be used to store
a list of GI numbers, to translate an Entrez query expression into a
list of GI numbers, or to count the number of terms that would be
returned by a query.  Once created, the query object can be passed to
a Bio::DB::GenBank object in order to retrieve the entries
corresponding to the query.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the
evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation
is much appreciated.

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
web:

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $db = Bio::DB::Query::GenBank->new(@args)
 Function: create new query object
 Returns : new query object
 Args    : -db       database (see below for allowable values)
           -query    query string
           -mindate  minimum date to retrieve from (YYYY/MM/DD)
           -maxdate  maximum date to retrieve from (YYYY/MM/DD)
           -reldate  relative date to retrieve from (days)
           -datetype date field to use ('edat' or 'mdat')
           -ids      array ref of gids (overrides query)
           -maxids   the maximum number of IDs you wish to collect
                     (defaults to 100)

This method creates a new query object.  Typically you will specify a
-db and a -query argument, possibly modified by -mindate, -maxdate, or
-reldate.  -mindate and -maxdate specify minimum and maximum dates for
entries you are interested in retrieving, expressed in the form
YYYY/MM/DD.  -reldate is used to fetch entries that are more recent
than the indicated number of days.

If you provide an array reference of IDs in -ids, the query will be
ignored and the list of IDs will be used when the query is passed to a
Bio::DB::GenBank object's get_Stream_by_query() method.  A variety of
IDs are automatically recognized, including GI numbers, Accession
numbers, Accession.version numbers and locus names.

By default, the query will collect only the first 100 IDs and will
generate an exception if you call the ids() method and the query
returned more than that number.  To increase this maximum, set -maxids
to a number larger than the number of IDs you expect to obtain.  This
only affects the list of IDs you obtain when you call the ids()
method, and does not affect in any way the number of entries you
receive when you generate a SeqIO stream from the query.

-db option values:

  The most commonly used databases are:

      protein
      nucleotide
      nuccore
      nucgss
      nucest
      unigene

  An up to date list of database names supported by NCBI eUtils is
  always available at:
  https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/einfo.fcgi?

  However, note that not all of these databases return datatypes that
  are parsable by Bio::DB::GenBank
