NAME

Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI - abstract interface of UniGene object

SYNOPSIS

#

DESCRIPTION

This is the general interface for a UniGene cluster representation in Bioperl. You cannot use this module directly, use an implementation instead.

You can create UniGene cluster objects yourself by instantiating Bio::Cluster::UniGene. If you read UniGene clusters from a ClusterIO parser, you will get objects implementing this interface, most likely instances of said UniGene class.

Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI inherits from Bio::ClusterI, so you can use it wherever a cluster object is expected.
