Bio::PopGen::MarkerI - A Population Genetic conceptual marker

# Get a Bio::PopGen::MarkerI somehow - like using a Bio::PopGen::Marker

  my $name = $marker->name();            # marker name
  my $description = $marker->description(); # description
  my $type = $marker->type();            # coded type of the marker
  my $unique_id = $marker->unique_id;    # optional unique ID
  my @alleles = $marker->get_Alleles();  # the known alleles
  my %allele_freqs = $marker->get_Allele_Frequencies(); # keys are marker names
                                         # vals are frequencies
                                         # may change to handle multiple populations

This is the basic interface for Markers which one can associate alleles with for calculating Theta and Pi.

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 email or the web:

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

 Title   : name
 Usage   : my $name = $marker->name();
 Function: Get the name of the marker
 Returns : string representing the name of the marker
 Args    :

 Title   : description
 Usage   : my $desc = $marker->description
 Function: Get the marker description free text
 Returns : string
 Args    : [optional] string

 Title   : type
 Usage   : my $type = $marker->type;
 Function: Get coded string for marker type
 Returns : string
 Args    : [optional] string

 Title   : unique_id
 Usage   : my $id = $marker->unique_id;
 Function: Get the unique marker ID
 Returns : unique ID string
 Args    : [optional ] string

 Title   : annotation
 Usage   : $obj->annotation($seq_obj)
 Function: retrieve the attached annotation object
 Returns : Bio::AnnotationCollectionI or none;

See Bio::AnnotationCollectionI and Bio::Annotation::Collection for more information. This method comes through extension from Bio::AnnotatableI.

 Title   : get_Alleles
 Usage   : my @alleles = $marker->get_Alleles();
 Function: Get the available marker alleles if they are known and stored
 Returns : Array of strings
 Args    : none

 Title   : get_Allele_Frequencies
 Usage   : my %allele_freqs = $marker->get_Allele_Frequencies;
 Function: Get the alleles and their frequency (set relative to
           a given population - you may want to create different
           markers with the same name for different populations
           with this current implementation
 Returns : Associative array (hash) where keys are the names of the alleles
 Args    : none
