NAME

GenOO::Intron - Intron object

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# This object represents an intron of a transcript
# It extends the L<GenOO::GenomicRegion> object
# To initialize 
GenOO::Intron->new(
    species      => undef,
    strand       => undef,           #required
    chromosome   => undef,           #required
    start        => undef,           #required
    stop         => undef,           #required
    part_of      => reference to a transcript object
);
            
          

DESCRIPTION

            

              
              
The intron class describes an intron of a transcript.
It requires a strand (1,-1), a chromosome name, a genomic start and stop position (start is always the
smallest coordinate in the genome and NOT the 5p of the intron - i.e. if the intron is in the -1 strand
the start coordinate will be the 3p of the intron)
See L<GenOO::Region> and for more available methods
            
          

EXAMPLES

            

              
              
 my $intron = GenOO::Intron->new(
     strand       => 1,                 #required
     chromosome   => 'chr11',           #required
     start        => 8893144,           #required
     stop         => 8911139,           #required
 );
my $intron_start = $intron->start; #8893144
