NAME

Bio::Tools::Prediction::Exon - A predicted exon feature

SYNOPSIS

# See documentation of methods.

DESCRIPTION

A feature representing a predicted exon. This class actually inherits off Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::Exon and therefore has all that functionality (also implements Bio::SeqFeatureI), plus a few methods supporting predicted features, like various scores and a significance. Even though these were inspired by GenScan results, at least a subset should be generally useable for exon prediction results.

FEEDBACK

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.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

predicted_cds

Title   : predicted_cds
Usage   : $predicted_cds_dna = $exon->predicted_cds();
          $exon->predicted_cds($predicted_cds_dna);
Function: Get/Set the CDS (coding sequence) as predicted by a program.

          This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
          guarantee whatsoever that the returned CDS has anything to do
          (e.g., matches) with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
          through this object.

Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA sequence
          defined as coding by a prediction of a program.
Args    : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA 
          sequence defined as coding by a prediction of a program.

predicted_protein

Title   : predicted_protein
Usage   : $predicted_protein_seq = $exon->predicted_protein();
          $exon->predicted_protein($predicted_protein_seq);
Function: Get/Set the protein translation as predicted by a program.

          This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
          guarantee whatsoever that the returned translation has anything to
          do with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
          through this object, or the sequence returned by predicted_cds(),
          although it should usually be just the standard translation.

Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein 
          translation as predicted by a program.
Args    : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein 
          translation as predicted by a program.

significance

Title   : significance
Usage   : $evalue = $obj->significance();
          $obj->significance($evalue);
Function: 
Returns : 
Args    : 

start_signal_score

Title   : start_signal_score
Usage   : $sc = $obj->start_signal_score();
          $obj->start_signal_score($evalue);
Function: Get/Set a score for the exon start signal (acceptor splice site
          or initiation signal).
Returns : 
Args    : 

end_signal_score

Title   : end_signal_score
Usage   : $sc = $obj->end_signal_score();
          $obj->end_signal_score($evalue);
Function: Get/Set a score for the exon end signal (donor splice site
          or termination signal).
Returns : 
Args    : 

coding_signal_score

Title   : coding_signal_score
Usage   : $sc = $obj->coding_signal_score();
          $obj->coding_signal_score($evalue);
Function: Get/Set a score for the exon coding signal (e.g., coding potential).
Returns : 
Args    :
