Bio::PopGen::Individual - An implementation of an Individual who has Genotype or Sequence Results

  use Bio::PopGen::Individual;
  my $ind = Bio::PopGen::Individual->new(-unique_id => $id,
                                        -genotypes => \@genotypes);

This object is a container for genotypes.

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:

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.

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

 Usage   : $individual->add_Genotype
 Function: add a genotype value
 Returns : count of the number of genotypes associated with this individual
 Args    : @genotypes - L<Bio::PopGen::GenotypeI> object(s) containing 
                        alleles plus a marker name
