Methods
Methods description
Title : new
Usage : $featuregroup = Bio::Expression::FeatureGroup->new(%args);
Function: create a new featuregroup object
Returns : a Bio::Expression::FeatureGroup object
Args : an optional hash of parameters to be used in initialization:
-id -- the featuregroup ID
-type -- the featuregroup type |
Title : _initialize
Usage : $featuregroup->_initialize(@args);
Function: initialize the featuregroup object
Returns : nothing
Args : @args |
Title : type
Usage : $featuregroup->type($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the type of the featuregroup
Comments: this is probably going to be a string like
"quality control", "mismatch blah blah", etc.
Returns : the featuregroup type
Args : a new value for the featuregroup type |
Title : id
Usage : $featuregroup->id($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the id of the featuregroup
Returns : the featuregroup id
Args : a new value for the featuregroup id |
Title : standard_deviation
Usage : $featuregroup->standard_deviation($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the standard deviation of the featuregroup value
Returns : the featuregroup standard deviation
Args : a new value for the featuregroup standard deviation
Notes : this method does no calculation, it merely holds a value |
Title : quantitation
Usage : $featuregroup->quantitation($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the quantitation of the featuregroup
Returns : the featuregroup's quantitated value
Args : a new value for the featuregroup's quantitated value
Notes : this method does no calculation, it merely holds a value |
Title : quantitation_units
Usage : $featuregroup->quantitation_units($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the quantitation units of the featuregroup
Returns : the featuregroup's quantitated value units
Args : a new value for the featuregroup's quantitated value units |
Title : presence
Usage : $featuregroup->presence($optional_arg);
Function: get/set the presence call of the featuregroup
Returns : the featuregroup's presence call
Args : a new value for the featuregroup's presence call |
Title : add_feature
Usage : $feature_copy = $featuregroup->add_feature($feature);
Function: add a feature to the featuregroup
Returns : see this_feature()
Args : a Bio::Expression::FeatureI compliant object |
Title : this_feature
Usage : $feature = $featuregroup->this_feature
Function: access the last feature added to the featuregroup
Returns : the last feature added to the featuregroup
Args : none |
Title : each_feature
Usage : @features = $featuregroup->each_feature
Function: returns a list of Bio::Expression::FeatureI compliant
objects
Returns : a list of objects
Args : none |
Title : each_feature_quantitation
Usage : @featurequantitions = $featuregroup->each_feature_quantitation;
Function: returns an list of quantitations of the features in the featuregroup
Returns : a list of numeric values
Args : none |
Title : is_qc
Usage : $is_quality_control = $featuregroup->is_qc
Function: get/set whether or not the featuregroup is used for quality control purposes
Returns : a boolean (equivalent)
Args : a new value |
