Returns - L<Bio::SeqFeature::Tools::Unflattener>
Args    - L<Bio::SeqFeature::Tools::Unflattener> (OPTIONAL)

gets/sets the object that the CG will use for unflattening genbank seqs. See bioperl docs for details

feature_idx

Usage   - my $f = $cg->feature_idx->{$feature_id}
Returns - hashref, keyed by feature ID
Args    - 

index hash for looking up feature stag nodes by ID

The ID is the value of feature/feature_id in the chaos-xml structure

the hash has values that are chaos Data::Stag nodes, and can be accessed using normal stag methods/functions

get_feature

Usage   - my $f = $cg->get_feature($feature_id)

Args    - id string

look up feature stag nodes by ID

The ID is the value of feature/feature_id in the chaos-xml structure

The returned Data::Stag node is a feature node/element, and can be accessed using normal stag methods/functions

graph

Usage   - my $graph = $cg->graph;
Returns - L<Graph>
Args    -

gets/sets the Graph object which corresponds to the graph defined by the chado/chaos feature_relationships. The sink of the graph is the root (eg genes), the source of the graph is the leaves (eg exons).

The graph labels contain the relationship type and the rank

You should not need to manipulate the Graph object directly - this is mostly used internally, but is made public to allow inspection of the graph using the native Graph methods

graph

Usage   - my $locgraph = $cg->locgraph;
Returns - L<Graph>
Args    -

gets/sets the Graph object which corresponds to the graph defined by the chado/chaos featurelocs.

The graph labels contain the nbeg, nend, rank, group

You should not need to manipulate the Graph object directly - this is mostly used internally, but is made public to allow inspection of the graph using the native Graph methods
