           represents one unique key, and the keys of each hash
           represent the names of the object's slots that are part of
           the particular unique key and their values are the values
           of those slots as suitable for the key.
 Args    : The object with those attributes set that constitute the chosen
           unique key (note that the class of the object will be suitable for
           the adaptor).
           A reference to an array of foreign key objects if not retrievable 
           from the object itself.

=head2 attach_foreign_key_objects

 Title   : attach_foreign_key_objects
 Usage   :
 Function: Attaches foreign key objects to the given object as far as
           necessary.

           This method is called after find_by_XXX() queries, not for INSERTs
           or UPDATEs.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise.
 Args    : The object to which to attach foreign key objects.
           A reference to an array of foreign key values, in the order of
           foreign keys returned by get_foreign_key_objects().

=head2 remove_children

 Title   : remove_children
 Usage   :
 Function: This method is to cascade deletes in maintained objects.

           We just return TRUE here.

 Example :
 Returns : TRUE on success and FALSE otherwise
 Args    : The persistent object that was just removed from the database.
           Additional (named) parameter, as passed to remove().

sub remove_children{

=head2 get_biosequence

 Title   : get_biosequence
 Usage   :
 Function: Returns the actual sequence for a bioentry, or a substring of it.
 Example :
 Returns : A string (the sequence or subsequence)
 Args    : The primary key of the bioentry for which to obtain the sequence.
           Optionally, start and end position if only a subsequence is to be
           returned (for long sequences, obtaining the subsequence from the
           database may be much faster than obtaining it from the complete
           in-memory string, because the latter has to be retrieved first).
