DESCRIPTION

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::clone is one of the default aggregators, and was written to be compatible with the C elegans GFF files. It aggregates raw ``Clone_left_end'', ``Clone_right_end'', and ``region:Genomic_canonical'' features into composite features of type ``clone''.

aggregate

  Title   : aggregate
  Usage   : $features = $a->aggregate($features,$factory)
  Function: aggregate a feature list into composite features
  Returns : an array reference containing modified features
  Args    : see L<Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator>
  Status  : Public
 
 

The WormBase GFF model is unusual in that clones aren't identified as a single feature with start and stop positions, but as two features, a ``left end'' and a ``right end''. One or both of these features may be absent. In order to accomodate this, the aggregator will return undef for the start and/or stop if one or both of the ends are missing.

method

  Title   : method
  Usage   : $aggregator->method
  Function: return the method for the composite object
  Returns : the string "clone"
  Args    : none
  Status  : Public
 
 

part_names

  Title   : part_names
  Usage   : $aggregator->part_names
  Function: return the methods for the sub-parts
  Returns : the list ("Clone_left_end", "Clone_right_end", "region:Genomic_canonical")
  Args    : none
  Status  : Public
 
 

BUGS

None reported.
