Bio::AnnotatableI - the base interface an annotatable object must implement

    use Bio::SeqIO;
    # get an annotatable object somehow: for example, Bio::SeqI objects
    # are annotatable
    my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -format => 'genbank');
    while (my $seq = $seqio->next_seq()) {
        # $seq is-a Bio::AnnotatableI, hence:
        my $ann_coll = $seq->annotation();
        # $ann_coll is-a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI, hence:
        my @all_anns = $ann_coll->get_Annotations();
        # do something with the annotation objects
    }

This is the base interface that all annotatable objects must implement. A good example is Bio::Seq which is an AnnotableI object.

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

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

 Title   : annotation
 Usage   : $obj->annotation($newval)
 Function: Get the annotation collection for this annotatable object.
 Example : 
 Returns : a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI implementing object, or undef
 Args    : on set, new value (a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI
           implementing object, optional) (an implementation may not
           support changing the annotation collection)
