Synopsis
use Bio::Map::LinkageMap;
# create a new map
my $map = new Bio::Map::LinkageMap(-name => 'Chads Superterriffic Map',
-type => 'Linkage',
-units=> 'cM');
# create the location of a marker for that map
my $position = new Bio::Map::LinkagePosition( -positions => 1,
-distance => "22.3");
# create a marker and place it at that position
my $marker = new Bio::Map::Marker::Microsatellite(
-name => 'SuuuperMarker',
-position => $position);
# place that marker on that map
$map->add_element($marker);
# done!
Description
This object describes the basic functionality of a genetic linkage map in
Bioperl. Each 'position' can have one or more markers that map some number of
units from the markers at the previous position.
Methods
Methods description
Title : length
Usage : my $length = $map->length();
Function: Retrieves the length of the map. In the case of a LinkageMap, the
length is the sum of all marker distances.
Returns : An integer representing the length of this LinkageMap. Will return
0 if length is not calculateable
Args : None. |

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new
Usage : my $linkage_map = new Bio::Map::LinkageMap();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Map::LinkageMap object
Returns : Bio::Map::LinkageMap
Args : -name => the name of the map (string) [optional]
-type => the type of this map (string, defaults to Linkage) [optional]
-species => species for this map (Bio::Species) [optional]
-units => the map units (string, defaults to cM) [optional]
-elements=> elements to initialize with
(arrayref of Bio::Map::MappableI objects) [optional]
-uid => Unique ID of this map
Title : add_element($marker)
Usage : $map->add_element($marker)
Function: Add a Bio::Map::MappableI object to the Map
Returns : none
Args : Bio::Map::MappableI object
Notes : It is strongly recommended that you use a
Bio::Map::LinkagePosition as the position in any
Bio::Map::Mappable that you create to place on this
map. Using some other Bio::Map::Position might work but might
be unpredictable.
N.B. I've added Bio::Map::OrderedPosition which should achieve
similar things from LinkagePosition and will work for
RH markers too.
