NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::IdMapping::TinyGene - lightweight gene object

SYNOPSIS

 # fetch a gene from the db and create a lightweight gene object from it
  my $gene = $gene_adaptor->fetch_by_stable_id('ENSG000345437');
  my $lightweight_gene = Bio::EnsEMBL::IdMapping::TinyGene->new_fast( [
      $gene->dbID,                   $gene->stable_id,
      $gene->version,                $gene->created_date,
      $gene->modified_date,          $gene->start,
      $gene->end,                    $gene->strand,
      $gene->slice->seq_region_name, $gene->biotype,
      $gene->analysis->logic_name,
  ] );

DESCRIPTION

This is a lightweight gene object for the stable Id mapping. See the documentation in TinyFeature for general considerations about its design.
