NAME

Bio::Cluster::FamilyI - Family Interface

SYNOPSIS

# see the implementations of this interface for details

my $cluster= $cluster->new(-description=>"POLYUBIQUITIN",
                           -members    =>[$seq1,$seq2]);
my @members = $cluster->get_members();
my @sub_members = $cluster->get_members(-species=>"homo sapiens");

DESCRIPTION

This interface if for a Family object representing a family of biological objects. A generic implementation for this may be found a Bio::Cluster::Family.
