NAME

Bio::Map::Clone - An central map object representing a clone

SYNOPSIS

# get the clone object of $clone from the Bio::Map::Clone
my $cloneobj = $physical->get_cloneobj($clone);

# acquire all the markers that hit this clone
foreach my $marker ($cloneobj->each_markerid()) {
    print "   +++$marker\n";
}

See Bio::Map::Position and Bio::Map::PositionI for more information.

DESCRIPTION

This object handles the notion of a clone. This clone will have a name and a position in a map.

This object is intended to be used by a map parser like fpc.pm.

FEEDBACK

Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

APPENDIX

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

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $clone = Bio::Map::Clone->new
                      (
		       -name    => $clone,
		       -markers => \@markers,

		       );
 Function: Initialize a new Bio::Map::Clone object
           Most people will not use this directly but get Clones 
           through L<Bio::MapIO::fpc>
 Returns : L<Bio::Map::Clone> object
 Args    :   -name => marker name string,
	     -markers => array ref of markers,

	     -fpcremark => FPC remark,
	     -matche    => array ref,
	     -matcha    => array ref,
	     -matchp    => array ref,
	     -range     => L<Bio::Range> object,

Access Methods

These methods let you get and set the member variables
