NAME

Bio::MAGETAB::CompositeElement - MAGE-TAB composite element class

SYNOPSIS

 use Bio::MAGETAB::CompositeElement;

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to store information on composite elements in MAGE-TAB. These elements typically correspond to biologically relevant sequences or features (e.g., genes, exons, etc.). See the DesignElement class for superclass methods.

ATTRIBUTES

name (required): The name of the composite element (data type: String).
databaseEntries (optional): A list of database entries for the composite element (data type: Bio::MAGETAB::DatabaseEntry).
comments (optional): A list of user-defined comments for the element (data type: Bio::MAGETAB::Comment).

METHODS

Each attribute has accessor (get_*) and mutator (set_*) methods, and also predicate (has_*) and clearer (clear_*) methods where the attribute is optional. Where an attribute represents a one-to-many relationship the mutator accepts an arrayref and the accessor returns an array.
