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 one of the Bioperl mailing lists. 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.

APPENDIX

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

transcripts

  Title   : transcripts()
  Usage   : @transcripts = $gene->transcripts();
  Function: Get the transcript features/sites of this gene structure.
 
            See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI for properties of the
            returned objects.
 
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI implementing objects
            representing the promoter regions or sites.
  Args    :
 
 

promoters

  Title   : promoters()
  Usage   : @prom_sites = $gene->promoters();
  Function: Get the promoter features/sites of this gene structure.
 
            Note that OO-modeling of regulatory elements is not stable yet.
            This means that this method might change or even disappear in a
            future release. Be aware of this if you use it.
 
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
            promoter regions or sites.
  Args    :
 
 

exons

  Title   : exons()
  Usage   : @exons = $gene->exons();
            @inital = $gene->exons('Initial');
  Function: Get all exon features or all exons of specified type of this gene
            structure.
 
            Refer to the documentation of the class that produced this gene
            structure object for information about the possible types.
 
            See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
            returned objects.
 
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
            representing the exon regions.
  Args    : An optional string specifying the type of the exon.
 
 

introns

  Title   : introns()
  Usage   : @introns = $gene->introns();
  Function: Get all introns of this gene structure.
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
            introns.
  Args    :
 
 

poly_A_sites

  Title   : poly_A_sites()
  Usage   : @polyAsites = $gene->poly_A_sites();
  Function: Get the poly-adenylation features/sites of this gene structure.
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
            poly-adenylation regions or sites.
  Args    :
 
 

utrs

  Title   : utrs()
  Usage   : @utr_sites = $gene->utrs();
  Function: Get the UTR features/sites of this gene structure.
 
            See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
            returned objects.
 
  Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
            representing the UTR regions or sites.
  Args    :
