NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Tree::Interval::Mutable

SYNOPSIS

  # start with an empty tree
  my $tree = Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Tree::Interval::Mutable->new();

  # add a few intervals (i.e. Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Interval)
  $tree->insert($i1);
  $tree->insert($i2);
  $tree->insert($i3);

  # query the tree
  my $result = $tree->search(85, 100);
  if (scalar @{$result}) {
    print "Found overlapping interval: [", $result->[0]->start, ', ', $result->[0]->end, "\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

Class representing a dynamic, i.e. mutable, interval tree implemented as an augmented AVL balanced binary tree.

This module is a wrapper around two possible implementations: one using the Perl extension (XS) mechanisms, and a pure Perl (PP) one.

The module is capable of detecting whether the XS module is available and it loads it in that case; it falls back to the PP implementation otherwise.
