Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap;

    # creating an empty instance
  my $compositecompositemap = Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap->new();

    # creating an already populated instance
  my $compositecompositemap = Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap->new(compositeSequence=>$compositeSequence_value,
                        compositePositionSources=>$compositePositionSources_value);

    # setting and retrieving object associations
  my $compositeSequence_val = $compositecompositemap->compositeSequence();
  $compositecompositemap->compositeSequence($value);

  my $compositePositionSources_val = $compositecompositemap->compositePositionSources();
  $compositecompositemap->compositePositionSources($value);

DESCRIPTION

From the MAGE-OM documentation for the CompositeCompositeMap class:

A CompositeCompositeMap is the description of how source CompositeSequences are transformed into a target CompositeSequence. For instance, several CompositeSequences could represent different sequence regions for a Gene and could be mapped to different CompositeSequences, each representing a different splice variant for that Gene.

INHERITANCE

Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap has the following super classes

Bio::MAGE::BioAssayData::DesignElementMap

Side effects: none

$val = $obj->set_slot($name,$val)

The set_slot() method sets the slot $name to the value $val

Return value: the new value of the slot, i.e. $val

Side effects: none

$val = $obj->get_slot($name)

The get_slot() method is used to get the values of a number of slots at the same time.

returns the association meta-information in a hash where the keys are the association names and the values are Bio::MAGE::Association objects that provide the meta-information for the association.

ATTRIBUTES

Attributes are simple data types that belong to a single instance of a class. In the Perl implementation of the MAGE-OM classes, the interface to attributes is implemented using separate setter and getter methods for each attribute.

Bio::MAGE::DesignElement::CompositeCompositeMap: has the following attribute accessor methods:

Attributes Inherited from Bio::MAGE::Identifiable

identifier

From the MAGE-OM documentation for the identifier attribute:

An identifier is an unambiguous string that is unique within the scope (i.e. a document, a set of related documents, or a repository) of its use.

$val = $identifiable->setIdentifier($val)

The restricted setter method for the identifier attribute.

Input parameters: the value to which the identifier attribute will be set

Return value: the current value of the identifier attribute

Side effects: none

Exceptions: will call croak() if no input parameters are specified, or if too many input parameters are specified

$val = $identifiable->getIdentifier()

The restricted getter method for the identifier attribute.

Input parameters: none

Return value: the current value of the identifier attribute

Side effects: none

Exceptions: will call croak() if any input parameters are specified

name

From the MAGE-OM documentation for the name attribute:

The potentially ambiguous common identifier.

$val = $identifiable->setName($val)

The restricted setter method for the name attribute.

Input parameters: the value to which the name attribute will be set

Return value: the current value of the name attribute

Side effects: none

Exceptions: will call croak() if no input parameters are specified, or if too many input parameters are specified

$val = $identifiable->getName()

The restricted getter method for the name attribute.

Input parameters: none

Return value: the current value of the name attribute

Side effects: none

Exceptions: will call croak() if any input parameters are specified

ASSOCIATIONS

Associations are references to other class objects which can be shared by multiple class instances at the same time. In the Perl implementation of MAGE-OM classes, associations are implemented using three separate methods:

get*: Retrieves the current value. If the association has list cardinality, an array reference is returned.
set*: Sets the current value replacing any existing value. If the association has list cardinality, the argument must be an array reference. Unless you know what you are doing, you probably should be using the add* methods.
add*: This method exists only for associations with list cardinality. It appends a list of objects to any values that may already be stored in the association.
