Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo(3)

NAME
Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo - Perl object for small inhibitory RNAs.

SYNOPSIS
  use Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo;

  my $oligo = Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo->
      new( -seq         => 'AUGCCGAUUGCAAGUCAGATT',
           -start       => 10,
           -end         => 31,
           -strand      => -1,
           -primary     => 'SiRNA::Oligo',
           -source_tag  => 'Bio::Tools::SiRNA',
           -tag         => { note => 'A note' }, );

  # normally two complementary Oligos are combined in an SiRNA::Pair
  # object
  $pair->antisense($oligo);

DESCRIPTION
Object methods for single SiRNA oligos - inherits Bio::SeqFeature::Generic. DOES NOT include methods for designing SiRNAs -- see Bio::Tools::SiRNA for that.

  EXPORT
None by default.

SEE ALSO
Bio::Tools::SiRNA, Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Pair, perl.

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

  new
  Title         : new
  Usage         : my $sirna_oligo = Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo->new();
  Function      : Create a new SiRNA::Oligo object
  Returns       : Bio::Tools::SiRNA object
  Args          : -seq            sequence of the RNAi oligo.  Should be in RNA alphabet
                                  except for the final TT overhang.
                  -start          start position
                  -end            end position
                  -strand         strand
                  -primary        primary tag - defaults to 'SiRNA::Oligo'
                  -source         source tag
                  -score          score value
                  -tag            a reference to a tag/value hash
                  -seq_id         the display name of the sequence
                  -annotation     the AnnotationCollectionI object
                  -location       the LocationI object

Currently passing arguments in gff_string or gff1_string is not supported. SiRNA::Oligo objects are typically created by a design algorithm such as Bio::Tools::SiRNA

  seq
  Title         : Seq
  Usage         : my $oligo_sequence = $sirna_oligo->seq();
  Purpose       : Get/set the sequence of the RNAi oligo
  Returns       : Sequence for the RNAi oligo
  Args          : Sequence of the RNAi oligo (optional)
  Note          : Overloads Bio::SeqFeature::Generic seq method - the oligo and
                  parent sequences are different.
                  Note that all but the last 2 nucleotides are RNA (per Tuschl and colleagues).
                  SiRNA::Pair objects are typically created by a design algorithm such as
                  Bio::Tools::SiRNA.
