NAME

Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI - abstract interface of UniGene object

SYNOPSIS

#

DESCRIPTION

This is the general interface for a UniGene cluster representation in Bioperl. You cannot use this module directly, use an implementation instead.

You can create UniGene cluster objects yourself by instantiating Bio::Cluster::UniGene. If you read UniGene clusters from a ClusterIO parser, you will get objects implementing this interface, most likely instances of said UniGene class.

Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI inherits from Bio::ClusterI, so you can use it wherever a cluster object is expected.

Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. 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.
