Bio::MAGETAB::DesignElement - Abstract design element class
use Bio::MAGETAB::DesignElement;
This class is an abstract class from which all MAGE-TAB DesignElement classes (Feature, Reporter, CompositeElement) are derived. It cannot be instantiated directly. See Bio::MAGETAB::BaseClass for superclass methods.
The chromosome from which the design element is derived. This is primarily used in either the Reporter or CompositeElement subclass to support coordinate-based design elements in data matrices. It is possible that these attributes will be moved to a more suitable subclass in subsequent model versions (data type: String).
The start coordinate of the design element on the given chromosome (data type: Integer).
The end coordinate of the design element on the given chromosome (data type: Integer).
Each attribute has accessor (get_*) and mutator (set_*) methods, and also predicate (has_*) and clearer (clear_*) methods where the attribute is optional. Where an attribute represents a one-to-many relationship the mutator accepts an arrayref and the accessor returns an array.
