Bio::PopGen::Individual - An implementation of an Individual who has Genotype or Sequence Results use Bio::PopGen::Individual; my $ind = new Bio::PopGen::Individual(-unqiue_id => $id, -genotypes => \@genotypes); This object is a container for genotypes.

Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new
Title : new Usage : my $obj = new Bio::PopGen::Individual(); Function: Builds a new Bio::PopGen::Individual object Returns : an instance of Bio::PopGen::Individual Args : -unique_id => $id, -genotypes => \@genotypes

unique_id
Title : unique_id Usage : my $id = $individual->unique_id Function: Unique Identifier Returns : string representing unique identifier Args : string

num_of_results
Title : num_of_results Usage : my $count = $person->num_results; Function: returns the count of the number of Results for a person Returns : integer Args : none

add_Genotype
Title : add_Genotype Usage : $individual->add_Genotype Function: add a genotype value Returns : count of the number of genotypes associated with this individual Args : @genotypes - Bio::PopGen::GenotypeI object(s) containing alleles plus a marker name

reset_Genotypes
Title : reset_Genotypes Usage : $individual->reset_Genotypes; Function: Reset the genotypes stored for this individual Returns : none Args : none

remove_Genotype
Title : remove_Genotype Usage : $individual->remove_Genotype(@names) Function: Removes the genotypes for the requested markers Returns : none Args : Names of markers

get_Genotypes
Title : get_Genotypes Usage : my @genotypes = $ind->get_Genotypes(-marker => $markername); Function: Get the genotypes for an individual, based on a criteria Returns : Array of genotypes Args : either none (return all genotypes) or -marker => name of marker to return (exact match, case matters)

has_Marker
Title : has_Marker Usage : if( $ind->has_Marker($name) ) {} Function: Boolean test to see if an Individual has a genotype for a specific marker Returns : Boolean (true or false) Args : String representing a marker name

get_marker_names
Title : get_marker_names Usage : my @names = $individual->get_marker_names; Function: Returns the list of known marker names Returns : List of strings Args : none
