=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry->load_all("configuration_file");

$gene_adaptor = Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry->get_adaptor("homo_sapiens","core","gene"))


=head1 DESCRIPTION

All Adaptors are stored/registered using this module. This module should then
be used to get the adaptors needed.

The registry can be loaded from a configuration file using the method load_all.
If a file is passed to load_all then this is used.
Else if the enviroment variable ENSEMBL_REGISTRY is set then this is used
Else if the file .ensembl_init in your home directory exist it is used.

For the Web server ENSEMBL_REGISTRY should be set in SiteDefs.pm, which will
pass this on to load_all.


The registry can also be loaded via the method load_registry_from_db which
given a host will load the latest versions of the Ensembl databases from it.

The four types of registrys are for db adaptors, dba adaptors, dna adaptors
and the standard type.

=head2 db

These are registrys for backwards compatibillity and enable the subroutines
to add other adaptors to connections. 

e.g. get_all_db_adaptors, get_db_adaptor, add_db_adaptor, remove_db_adaptor
are the old DBAdaptor subroutines which are now redirected to the Registry.

So if before we had
   my $sfa = $self->adaptor()->db()->get_db_adaptor('blast');

We now want to change this to
   my $sfa = Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry->get_adaptor("Human","core","blast");


=head2 DBA

These are the stores for the DBAdaptors

The Registry will create all the DBConnections needed now if you set up the
configuration correctly. So instead of the old commands like

my $db = Bio::EnsEMBL::DBSQL::DBAdaptor->new(....)
my $exon_adaptor = $db->get_ExonAdaptor;

we should now have just

my  $exon_adaptor = Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry->get_adaptor("Human","core","Exon");


=head2 DNA

This is an internal Registry and allows the configuration of a dnadb. 
An example here is to set the est database to get its dna data from the core database.

## set the est db to use the core for getting dna data.
#Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::ConfigRegistry->
#                         dnadb_add("Homo Sapiens","core","Homo Sapiens","est");


=head2 adaptors

This is the registry for all the general types of adaptors like GeneAdaptor, ExonAdaptor, 
Slice Adaptor etc.

These are accessed by the get_adaptor subroutine i.e.

my  $exon_adaptor = Bio::EnsEMBL::Registry->get_adaptor("Human","core","Exon");

=head2 load_all

 Will load the registry with the configuration file which is obtained from
 the first in the following and in that order.

  1) if an argument is passed to this method this is used as the conf file.
  2) If the enviroment variable ENSEMBL_REGISTRY is set this is used.
  3) If the file .ensembl_init exist in the home directory it is used

  Arg [1]    : (optional) string $arg file to load the registry from
  Arg [2]    : (optional) string if set prints out messages about conf file used.
