Reporting Bugs
Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ Allen Day <allenday@ucla.edu> The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new
Title : new Usage : $featuregroup = Bio::Expression::FeatureGroup->new(%args); Function: create a new featuregroup object Returns : a Bio::Expression::FeatureGroup object Args : an optional hash of parameters to be used in initialization: -id -- the featuregroup ID -type -- the featuregroup type

_initialize
Title : _initialize Usage : $featuregroup->_initialize(@args); Function: initialize the featuregroup object Returns : nothing Args : @args

type
Title : type Usage : $featuregroup->type($optional_arg); Function: get/set the type of the featuregroup Comments: this is probably going to be a string like "quality control", "mismatch blah blah", etc. Returns : the featuregroup type Args : a new value for the featuregroup type

id
Title : id Usage : $featuregroup->id($optional_arg); Function: get/set the id of the featuregroup Returns : the featuregroup id Args : a new value for the featuregroup id

standard_deviation
Title : standard_deviation Usage : $featuregroup->standard_deviation($optional_arg); Function: get/set the standard deviation of the featuregroup value Returns : the featuregroup standard deviation Args : a new value for the featuregroup standard deviation Notes : this method does no calculation, it merely holds a value

quantitation
Title : quantitation Usage : $featuregroup->quantitation($optional_arg); Function: get/set the quantitation of the featuregroup Returns : the featuregroup's quantitated value Args : a new value for the featuregroup's quantitated value Notes : this method does no calculation, it merely holds a value

quantitation_units
Title : quantitation_units Usage : $featuregroup->quantitation_units($optional_arg); Function: get/set the quantitation units of the featuregroup Returns : the featuregroup's quantitated value units Args : a new value for the featuregroup's quantitated value units

presence
Title : presence Usage : $featuregroup->presence($optional_arg); Function: get/set the presence call of the featuregroup Returns : the featuregroup's presence call Args : a new value for the featuregroup's presence call

add_feature
Title : add_feature Usage : $feature_copy = $featuregroup->add_feature($feature); Function: add a feature to the featuregroup Returns : see this_feature() Args : a Bio::Expression::FeatureI compliant object

this_feature
Title : this_feature Usage : $feature = $featuregroup->this_feature Function: access the last feature added to the featuregroup Returns : the last feature added to the featuregroup Args : none

each_feature
Title : each_feature Usage : @features = $featuregroup->each_feature Function: returns a list of Bio::Expression::FeatureI compliant objects Returns : a list of objects Args : none

each_feature_quantitation
Title : each_feature_quantitation Usage : @featurequantitions = $featuregroup->each_feature_quantitation; Function: returns an list of quantitations of the features in the featuregroup Returns : a list of numeric values Args : none

is_qc
Title : is_qc Usage : $is_quality_control = $featuregroup->is_qc Function: get/set whether or not the featuregroup is used for quality control purposes Returns : a boolean (equivalent) Args : a new value
