NAME

Bio::Variation::DNAMutation - DNA level mutation class

SYNOPSIS

    $dnamut = Bio::Variation::DNAMutation->new
        ('-start'         => $start,
         '-end'           => $end,
         '-length'        => $len,
         '-upStreamSeq'   => $upflank,
         '-dnStreamSeq'   => $dnflank,
         '-proof'         => $proof,
	 '-isMutation'    => 1,
         '-mut_number'    => $mut_number
        );
    $a1 = Bio::Variation::Allele->new;
    $a1->seq('a');
    $dnamut->allele_ori($a1);
    my $a2 = Bio::Variation::Allele->new;
    $a2->seq('t');
    $dnamut->add_Allele($a2);

    print "Restriction changes are ", $dnamut->restriction_changes, "\n";

    # add it to a SeqDiff container object
    $seqdiff->add_Variant($dnamut);

DESCRIPTION

The instantiable class Bio::Variation::DNAMutation describes basic sequence changes in genomic DNA level. It uses methods defined in superclass Bio::Variation::VariantI.

If the variation described by a DNAMutation object is transcibed, link the corresponding Bio::Variation::RNAChange object to it using method RNAChange().

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

CpG

Title   : CpG
Usage   : $obj->CpG()
Function: sets and returns boolean values for variation 
          hitting a CpG site.  Unset value return -1.
Example : $obj->CpG()
Returns : boolean
Args    : optional true of false value

RNAChange

Title   : RNAChange
Usage   : $mutobj = $obj->RNAChange;
        : $mutobj = $obj->RNAChange($objref);
Function: Returns or sets the link-reference to a mutation/change object.
          If there is no link, it will return undef
Returns : an obj_ref or undef

label

Title   : label
Usage   : $obj->label();
Function: 

           Sets and returns mutation event label(s).  If value is not
           set, or no argument is given returns false.  Each
           instantiable subclass of L<Bio::Variation::VariantI> needs
           to implement this method. Valid values are listed in
           'Mutation event controlled vocabulary' in
           http://www.ebi.ac.uk/mutations/recommendations/mutevent.html.

Example : 
Returns : string
Args    : string

sysname

Title   : sysname
Usage   : $self->sysname
Function: 

          This subroutine creates a string corresponding to the
          'systematic name' of the mutation. Systematic name is
          specified in Antonorakis & MDI Nomenclature Working Group:
          Human Mutation 11:1-3, 1998. 
          http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/1059-7794/nomenclature.html
Returns : string
