Bio::DB::GFF::TypenameUser Contributed Perl DocumentaBio::DB::GFF::Typename(3)

NAME
       Bio::DB::GFF::Typename -- The name of a feature type

SYNOPSIS
	 use Bio::DB::GFF;

	 my $type = Bio::DB::GFF::Typename->new(similarity => 'BLAT_EST_GENOME');
	 my $segment = $segment->features($type);

DESCRIPTION
       Bio::DB::GFF::Typename objects encapsulate the combination of feature
       method and source used by the GFF flat file format.  They can be used
       in the Bio::DB::GFF modules wherever a feature type is called for.

       Since there are relatively few types and many features, this module
       maintains a memory cache of unique types so that two features of the
       same type will share the same Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object.

METHODS
   new
	Title	: new
	Usage	: $type = Bio::DB::GFF::Typename->new($method,$source)
	Function: create a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
	Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
	Args	: method and source
	Status	: Public

   method
	Title	: method
	Usage	: $method = $type->method([$newmethod])
	Function: get or set the method
	Returns : a method name
	Args	: new method name (optional)
	Status	: Public

   source
	Title	: source
	Usage	: $source = $type->source([$newsource])
	Function: get or set the source
	Returns : a source name
	Args	: new source name (optional)
	Status	: Public

   asString
	Title	: asString
	Usage	: $string = $type->asString
	Function: get the method and source as a string
	Returns : a string in "method:source" format
	Args	: none
	Status	: Public

       This method is used by operator overloading to overload the '""'
       operator.

   clone
	Title	: clone
	Usage	: $new_clone = $type->clone;
	Function: clone this object
	Returns : a new Bio::DB::GFF::Typename object
	Args	: none
	Status	: Public

       This method creates an exact copy of the object.

   match
	Title	: match
	Usage	: $boolean = $type->match($type_or_string)
	Function: fuzzy match on types
	Returns : a flag indicating that the argument matches the object
	Args	: a Bio::DB::GFF::typename object, or a string in method:source format
	Status	: Public

       This match allows Sequence:Link and Sequence: to match, but not
       Sequence:Link and Sequence:Genomic_canonical.

BUGS
       This module is still under development.
