Bio::ClusterI(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Bio::ClusterI(3)NAMEBio::ClusterI - Cluster Interface
SYNOPSIS
# see the implementations of this interface for details
my $cluster= $cluster->new(-description=>"POLYUBIQUITIN",
-members =>[$seq1,$seq2]);
my @members = $cluster->get_members();
my @sub_members = $cluster->get_members(-species=>"homo sapiens");
DESCRIPTION
This interface is the basic structure for a cluster of bioperl objects.
In this case it is up to the implementer to check arguments and
initialize whatever new object the implementing class is designed for.
