Methods
Methods description
Title : get_position_class
Usage : my $position = $marker->get_position_object();
Function: To get an object of the default Position class
for this Marker. Subclasses should redefine this method.
The Position returned needs to be a Bio::Map::PositionI with
-element set to self.
Returns : Bio::Map::PositionI
Args : none for an 'empty' PositionI object, optionally
Bio::Map::MapI and value string to set the Position's -map and -value
attributes. |
Title : get_chr
Usage : my $mychr = $marker->get_chr();
Function: Read only method for the chromosome string of the location.
A shortcut to $marker->position->chr().
Returns : chromosome value
Args : [optional] new chromosome value |
Methods code
sub get_position_object
{ my ($self, $map, $value) = @_;
$map ||= $self->default_map;
if ($value) {
$self->throw("Value better be scalar, not [$value]") unless ref($value) eq '';
}
my $pos = Bio::Map::CytoPosition->new();
$pos->map($map) if $map;
$pos->value($value) if $value;
$pos->element($self);
return $pos;} | sub get_chr
{ my ($self) = @_;
return unless $self->position;
return $self->position->chr;

chromosomes, through X and end the the q tip of X. See
