NAME

Bio::Tree::AlleleNode - A Node with Alleles attached

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Tree::AlleleNode;

DESCRIPTION

AlleleNodes are basic Bio::Tree::Nodes with the added ability to add Genotypes alleles as defined by the Bio::PopGen::IndividualI interface. Genotypes are defined by the Bio::PopGen::GenotypeI interface, you will probably want to use the Bio::PopGen::Genotype implementation.

This is implemented via containment to avoid multiple inheritance problems. Their is a Bio::PopGen::Individual object which handles the Bio::PopGen::IndividualI interface, and is accessible via the Bio::Tree::AlleleNode::individual method.

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.

HISTORY

This module was re-written to be a combination of Bio::PopGen::Individual and Bio::Tree::Node primarily for use in Bio::PopGen::Simulation::Coalescent simulations.

Title   : add_Descendent
Usage   : $node->add_Descendent($node);
Function: Adds a descendent to a node
Returns : number of current descendents for this node
Args    : Bio::Node::NodeI
          boolean flag, true if you want to ignore the fact that you are
          adding a second node with the same unique id (typically memory 
          location reference in this implementation).  default is false and 
          will throw an error if you try and overwrite an existing node.

each_Descendent

           to sort the order of children nodes.

"A name can be any string of printable characters except blanks, colons, semicolons, parentheses, and square brackets. Because you may want to include a blank in a name, it is assumed that an underscore character ("_") stands for a blank; any of these in a name will be converted to a blank when it is read in."

 Title   : internal_id
 Usage   : my $internalid = $node->internal_id
