Bio::Map::GenePosition - A typed position, suitable for modelling
the various
regions of a gene.
use Bio::Map::GenePosition; use Bio::Map::GeneMap; # say that the first transcript of a particular gene on a particular map # (species) is 1000bp long my $map = Bio::Map:GeneMap->get(-universal_name => 'BRCA2', -species => 'human'); my $gene = $map->gene; Bio::Map::GenePosition->new(-map => $map, -element => $gene, -start => 0, -length => 1000, -type => 'transcript'); # say that the coding region of the gene starts 30bp into the first # transcript Bio::Map::GenePosition->new(-map => $map, -element => $gene, -start => 30, -length => 600, -type => 'coding'); # A GenePosition isa PositionWithSequence, so can have sequence associated # with it my $exon = Bio::Map::GenePosition->new(-map => $map, -element => $gene, -start => 0, -type => 'exon', -seq => 'ATGGGGTGGG'); my $length = $exon->length; # $length is 10
Define where various sub-regions (transcripts, exons, introns etc.) of a gene are. Do this so that you can then go onto to model other mappable elements as having positions 20bp upstream of transcript 2, or 10bp into intron 3 etc., all without having to know the absolute position of anything.
See Bio::Map::GeneRelative and t/Map/Map.t for more example usage.
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.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

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.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
Title : new Usage : my $obj = Bio::Map::GenePosition->new(); Function: Builds a new Bio::Map::GenePosition object Returns : Bio::Map::GenePosition Args : -map => Bio::Map::GeneMap object -element => Bio::Map::Gene object -relative => Bio::Map::GeneRelative object -type => 'transcript|coding|exon|intron', REQUIRED -seq => string, length of this string will set the length of this position's range * If this position has no range, or if a single value can describe the range * -value => scalar : something that describes the single point position or range of this Position, most likely an int * Or if this position has a range, at least two of * -start => int : value of the start co-ordinate -end => int : value of the end co-ordinate -length => int : length of the range
Title : map Usage : my $map = $position->map(); $position->map($map); Function: Get/set the map the position is in. Returns : L<Bio::Map::MapI> Args : none to get new L<Bio::Map::MapI> to set
Title : element Usage : my $element = $position->element(); $position->element($element); Function: Get/set the element the position is for. Returns : L<Bio::Map::MappableI> Args : none to get new L<Bio::Map::MappableI> to set
Title : type Usage : my $type = $position->type(); $position->type($type); Function: Get/set the type of this position. Returns : string Args : none to get, OR string transcript|coding|exon|intron to set
Title : relative Usage : my $relative = $position->relative(); $position->relative($relative); Function: Get/set the thing this Position's coordinates (numerical(), start(), end()) are relative to, as described by a RelativeI object. Returns : Bio::Map::GeneRelative. The default GeneRelative returned has a meaning that depends on the type() of GenePosition this is: 'transcript' : "relative to the start of the gene on the Position's map" 'coding|exon|intron' : "relative to the start of the default transcript of the gene on the Position's map" Args : none to get, OR Bio::Map::GeneRelative to set
Title : seq Usage : my $string = $position->seq(); Function: Get/set the sequence as a string of letters. If no sequence is manually set by you, the position's map will be asked for the sequence, and if available, that will be returned. Returns : scalar Args : Optionally on set the new value (a string). An optional second argument presets the alphabet (otherwise it will be guessed).
