NAME

Acme::BloodType - For those obsessed with celebrities' blood types

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

Allows you to model people with different blood-types and see what would happen if they had a kid. Alpha version handles ABO only for now.

use Acme::BloodType;

# Hooray for gene sequencers
$mary = Acme::BloodType->new({ genotype => "AA" });
$bill = Acme::BloodType->new({ phenotype => "O" });

$baby = $mary->cross($bill);

print "It's a ", $baby->get_bloodtype, "!\n";

METHODS

Acme::BloodType->new(\%specifier)

Create an Acme::Bloodtype object representing a person. You may specify genotype, phenotype (in which case a genotype is chosen at random), or nothing, in which case it's all random. Probabilities don't (yet) model real-world distributions.

$bt->get_bloodtype

Get the bloodtype (phenotype) of this person. Returns "A", "B", "AB", or "O".

$bt->get_genotype

Get the genotype of this person. Returns a string of two characters, which may be "A", "B", or "O".

$bt1->cross($bt2)

"Mate" one person with the other, producing a result chosen randomly in the style of Mendel.
