NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::OperonTranscript - Object representing a polycistronic transcript that is part of an operon

SYNOPSIS

my $operon_transcript = Bio::EnsEMBL::OperonTranscript->new( -START => $start, -END => $end, -STRAND => $strand, -SLICE => $slice ); $operon->add_OperonTranscript($operon_transcript);

DESCRIPTION

A representation of a polycistronic transcript from an operon within the Ensembl system. An operon is a collection of one or more polycistronic transcripts, which contain one or more genes.

METHODS

new

  Arg [-START]  : 
       int - start postion of the operon transcript
  Arg [-END]    : 
       int - end position of the operon transcript
  Arg [-STRAND] : 
       int - 1,-1 tehe strand the operon transcript is on
  Arg [-SLICE]  : 
       Bio::EnsEMBL::Slice - the slice the operon transcript is on
  Arg [-STABLE_ID] :
        string - the stable identifier of this operon transcript
  Arg [-VERSION] :

  Description: Getter/setter for attribute modified_date
  Returntype : String
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

display_label

  Arg [1]    : (optional) String - the name/label to set
  Example    : $operon->name('accBCD');
  Description: Getter/setter for attribute name.
  Returntype : String or undef
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

stable_id

  Arg [1]    : (optional) String - the stable ID to set
  Example    : $operon->stable_id("accR2A");
  Description: Getter/setter for stable id for this operon transcript.
  Returntype : String
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

version

  Arg [1]    : (optional) Int - the stable ID version to set
  Example    : $operon->version(1);
  Description: Getter/setter for stable id version for this operon transcript.
  Returntype : Int
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

stable_id_version

  Arg [1]    : (optional) String - the stable ID with version to set
  Example    : $operon->stable_id("accR2A.3");
  Description: Getter/setter for stable id with version.
  Returntype : String
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

operon

  Example    : $operon = $ot->operon();
  Description: getter for the operon to which this transcript belongs
  Returntype : Bio::EnsEMBL::Operon
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

get_all_Genes

  Example    : $genes = $ot->get_all_Genes();
  Description: get all the genes that are attached to this operon transcript
  Returntype : Arrayref of Bio::EnsEMBL::Gene
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

add_Gene

  Arg [1]    : Bio::EnsEMBL::Gene - gene to attach to this polycistronic transcript
  Example    : $operon->add_gene($gene);
  Description: Attach a gene to this polycistronic transcript
  Exceptions : if argument is not Bio::EnsEMBL::Gene
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

add_DBEntry

  Arg [1]    : Bio::EnsEMBL::DBEntry $dbe
               The dbEntry to be added
  Example    : my $dbe = Bio::EnsEMBL::DBEntery->new(...);
               $operon->add_DBEntry($dbe);
  Description: Associates a DBEntry with this operon. Note that adding DBEntries
               will prevent future lazy-loading of DBEntries for this operon
               (see get_all_DBEntries).
  Returntype : none
  Exceptions : thrown on incorrect argument type
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

get_all_Attributes

  Arg [1]    : (optional) String $attrib_code
               The code of the attribute type to retrieve values for
  Example    : my ($author) = @{ $ot->get_all_Attributes('author') };
               my @ot_attributes = @{ $ot->get_all_Attributes };
  Description: Gets a list of Attributes of this operon transcript.
               Optionally just get Attributes for given code.
  Returntype : Listref of Bio::EnsEMBL::Attribute
  Exceptions : warning if gene does not have attached adaptor and attempts lazy
               load.
  Caller     : general
  Status     : Stable

get_all_DBEntries

  Arg [1]    : (optional) String, external database name

  Arg [2]    : (optional) String, external_db type

  Example    : @dbentries = @{ $gene->get_all_DBEntries() };

  Description: Retrieves DBEntries (xrefs) for this operon transcript.  This does
               *not* include DBEntries that are associated with the
               transcripts and corresponding translations of this
               gene (see get_all_DBLinks()).

               This method will attempt to lazy-load DBEntries
               from a database if an adaptor is available and no
               DBEntries are present on the gene (i.e. they have not
               already been added or loaded).

  Return type: Listref of Bio::EnsEMBL::DBEntry objects
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : get_all_DBLinks, OperontTranscriptAdaptor::store
  Status     : Stable
