NAME

Bio::Location::Atomic - Implementation of a Atomic Location on a Sequence

SYNOPSIS

     use Bio::Location::Atomic;
 
     my $location = Bio::Location::Atomic->new(-start => 1, -end => 100,
                                              -strand => 1 );
 
     if( $location->strand == -1 ) {
         printf "complement(%d..%d)\n", $location->start, $location->end;
     } else {
         printf "%d..%d\n", $location->start, $location->end;
     }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This is an implementation of Bio::LocationI to manage simple location information on a Sequence.

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.

   Args    : none
 
 

min_end

   Title   : min_end
   Usage   : my $minend = $location->min_end();

   Title   : max_end
   Usage   : my $maxend = $location->max_end();
   Function: Get maximum ending location of feature endpoint 
 
             In this implementation this is exactly the same as min_end().
 
   Returns : integer or undef if no maximum ending point.
   Args    : none
 
 

end_pos_type

   Title   : end_pos_type
   Usage   : my $end_pos_type = $location->end_pos_type();

             In this implementation this will always be 'EXACT'.
 
   Returns : type of position coded as text 
             ('BEFORE', 'AFTER', 'EXACT','WITHIN', 'BETWEEN')
   Args    : none
 
 

location_type

   Title   : location_type
   Usage   : my $location_type = $location->location_type();

   Returns : string ('EXACT', 'WITHIN', 'IN-BETWEEN')
   Args    : none
 
 

is_remote

  Title   : is_remote
  Usage   : $self->is_remote($newval)
  Function: Getset for is_remote value
  Returns : value of is_remote
  Args    : newvalue (optional)
 
 

each_Location

  Title   : each_Location
  Usage   : @locations = $locObject->each_Location($order);
  Function: Conserved function call across Location:: modules - will
            return an array containing the component Location(s) in
            that object, regardless if the calling object is itself a
            single location or one containing sublocations.
  Returns : an array of Bio::LocationI implementing objects - for
            Simple locations, the return value is just itself.
  Args    :
 
 

to_FTstring

   Title   : to_FTstring
   Usage   : my $locstr = $location->to_FTstring()
   Function: returns the FeatureTable string of this location
   Returns : string
   Args    : none
 
 

valid_Location

  Title   : valid_Location
  Usage   : if ($location->valid_location) {...};
  Function: boolean method to determine whether location is considered valid
            (has minimum requirements for Simple implementation)
  Returns : Boolean value: true if location is valid, false otherwise
  Args    : none
 
 

coordinate_policy

   Title   : coordinate_policy
   Usage   : $policy = $location->coordinate_policy();
             $location->coordinate_policy($mypolicy); # set may not be possible
   Function: Get the coordinate computing policy employed by this object.
 
             See L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> for documentation
             about the policy object and its use.
 
             The interface *does not* require implementing classes to
             accept setting of a different policy. The implementation
             provided here does, however, allow to do so.
 
             Implementors of this interface are expected to initialize
             every new instance with a
             L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> object. The
             implementation provided here will return a default policy
             object if none has been set yet. To change this default
             policy object call this method as a class method with an
             appropriate argument. Note that in this case only
             subsequently created Location objects will be affected.
 
   Returns : A L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> implementing object.
   Args    : On set, a L<Bio::Location::CoordinatePolicyI> implementing object.

trunc

   Title   : trunc
         Usage   : $trunc_location = $location->trunc($start, $end, $relative_ori);
         Function: To truncate a location and keep annotations and features
                   within the truncated segment intact.
 
                                                 This might do things differently where the truncation
                                                 splits the location in half.
         CAVEAT  : As yet, this is an untested and unannounced method. Use
                   with caution!
         Returns : A L<Bio::Location::Atomic> object.
         Args    : The start and end position for the trunction, and the relative
                   orientation.
