Bio::Tree::AlleleNode(User Contributed Perl DocumentatBio::Tree::AlleleNode(3)NAMEBio::Tree::AlleleNode - A Node with Alleles attached
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Tree::AlleleNode;
DESCRIPTION
AlleleNodes are basic Bio::Tree::Nodes with the added ability to add
Genotypes alleles as defined by the Bio::PopGen::IndividualI interface.
Genotypes are defined by the Bio::PopGen::GenotypeI interface, you will
probably want to use the Bio::PopGen::Genotype implementation.
This is implemented via containment to avoid multiple inheritance
problems. Their is a Bio::PopGen::Individual object which handles the
Bio::PopGen::IndividualI interface, and is accessible via the
Bio::Tree::AlleleNode::individual method.
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the
Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and
data examples if at all possible.

HISTORY
This module was re-written to be a combination of
Bio::PopGen::Individual and Bio::Tree::Node primarily for use in
Bio::PopGen::Simulation::Coalescent simulations.

add_Genotype
Title : add_Genotype
Usage : $individual->add_Genotype
Function: add a genotype value, only a single genotype
may be associated

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
Bio::Tree::Node methods
Methods inherited from Bio::Tree::Node.
add_Descendent
Title : add_Descendent
Usage : $node->add_Descendent($node);
Function: Adds a descendent to a node
Returns : number of current descendents for this node
Args : Bio::Node::NodeI
boolean flag, true if you want to ignore the fact that you are
adding a second node with the same unique id (typically memory
location reference in this implementation). default is false and
will throw an error if you try and overwrite an existing node.
each_Descendent
Title : each_Descendent($sortby)
Usage : my @nodes = $node->each_Descendent;
Function: all the descendents for this Node (but not their descendents
i.e. not a recursive fetchall)
Returns : Array of Bio::Tree::NodeI objects
Args : $sortby [optional] "height", "creation" or coderef to be used
to sort the order of children nodes.
remove_Descendent
Title : remove_Descendent
Usage : $node->remove_Descedent($node_foo);
Function: Removes a specific node from being a Descendent of this node
Returns : nothing
Args : An array of Bio::Node::NodeI objects which have be previously
passed to the add_Descendent call of this object.
remove_all_Descendents
Title : remove_all_Descendents
Usage : $node->remove_All_Descendents()
Function: Cleanup the node's reference to descendents and reset
their ancestor pointers to undef, if you don't have a reference
to these objects after this call they will be cleaned up - so
a get_nodes from the Tree object would be a safe thing to do first
Returns : nothing
Args : none
get_all_Descendents
Title : get_all_Descendents
Usage : my @nodes = $node->get_all_Descendents;

"A name can be any string of printable characters except blanks,
colons, semicolons, parentheses, and square brackets. Because you may
want to include a blank in a name, it is assumed that an underscore
character ("_") stands for a blank; any of these in a name will be
converted to a blank when it is read in."
