NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR - A UTR feature with a location and a type (five prime/3 prime)

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR;

$feature = Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR->new(
  -start         => 100,
  -end           => 220,
  -strand        => -1,
  -slice         => $slice,
  -type          => 'five_prime_UTR',
  -transcript    => $transcript
);

DESCRIPTION

This is a UTR feature within the Ensembl system. A UTR repsents the non-coding (untranslated) regions of a transcript. It can be 5' or 3'

METHODS

new

Arg [...]  : Named arguments passed to superclass
Example    : $feature = Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR->new
                      (-start   => 1,
                       -end     => 100,
                       -strand  => 1,
                       -slice   => $slice,
                       -dbID    => 10,
                       -transcript  => $transcript,
                       -type    => 'five_prime_UTR');
Description: Constructs a new Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR.
Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::UTR
Exceptions : Thrown on invalid -SLICE, -STRAND arguments
Caller     : general, subclass constructors
Status     : Stable

transcript

Arg [1]    : (optional) Bio::EnsEMBL::Transcript
Example    : $transcript = $utr->transcript();
Description: Getter/Setter for the transcript associated with this
             UTR.
Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Transcript
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

translation

Description: Fetch the translation associated with
             this transcript, if it exists. Return undef
             if there is no translation, ie. a pseudogene
Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Translation or undef
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

seq_region_start

Arg [1]    : (optional) string $seq_region_start
Example    : $seq_region_start = $cds->seq_region_start();
Description: Getter/Setter for the seq_region_start for this UTR.
             Overwrite default method from Feature as UTR does not have
             a table
Returntype : String
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

seq_region_end

Arg [1]    : (optional) string $seq_region_end
Example    : $seq_region_end = $cds->seq_region_end();
Description: Getter/Setter for the seq_region_end for this UTR.
             Overwrite default method from Feature as UTR does not have
             a table
Returntype : String
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

get_Gene

Description: Get the gene associated with the ExonTranscript,
             if a transcript has been set
Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Gene or undef
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

type

Arg [1]    : (optional) string $type
Example    : print $utr->type();
Description: This method returns a string that describes
             the type of UTR feature (5 prime or 3 prime)
Returntype : string
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable

feature_so_acc

Example    : print $utr->feature_so_acc;
Description: This method returns a string containing the SO accession number of the UTR, based on type.
             Overrides Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature::feature_so_acc
Returntype : string (Sequence Ontology accession number)

feature_so_term

Example    : print $utr->feature_so_term;
Description: This method returns a string containing the SO accession term of the UTR, based on type.
             Overrides Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature::feature_so_term
Returntype : string (Sequence Ontology term)

summary_as_hash

Example    : my $hash = $utr->summary_as_hash();
Description: Generates a HashRef compatible with GFFSerializer. Adds
             Parent, source and type to the basic Feature hash
Returntype : Hash
Exceptions : none
Caller     : general
Status     : Stable
