Bio::Variation::SeqDiff(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::Variation::SeqDiff(3)

Bio::Variation::SeqDiff - Container class for mutation/variant descriptions 

  $seqDiff = Bio::Variation::SeqDiff->new (
                                           -id => $M20132,
                                           -alphabet => 'rna',
                                           -gene_symbol => 'AR'
                                           -chromosome => 'X',
                                           -numbering => 'coding'
                                           );
  # get a DNAMutation object somehow
  $seqDiff->add_Variant($dnamut);
  print  $seqDiff->sys_name(), "\n";

SeqDiff stores Bio::Variation::VariantI object references and descriptive information common to all changes in a sequence. Mutations are understood to be any kind of sequence markers and are expected to occur in the same chromosome. See Bio::Variation::VariantI for details.

The methods of SeqDiff are geared towards describing mutations in human genes using gene-based coordinate system where 'A' of the initiator codon has number 1 and the one before it -1. This is according to conventions of human genetics.

There will be class Bio::Variation::Genotype to describe markers in different chromosomes and diploid genototypes.

Classes implementing Bio::Variation::VariantI interface are Bio::Variation::DNAMutation, Bio::Variation::RNAChange, and Bio::Variation::AAChange. See Bio::Variation::VariantI, Bio::Variation::DNAMutation, Bio::Variation::RNAChange, and Bio::Variation::AAChange for more information.

Variant objects can be added using two ways: an array passed to the constructor or as individual Variant objects with add_Variant method.

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 lists Your participation is much appreciated.

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