NAME

Bio::Annotation::Target - Provides an object which represents a target (ie, a similarity hit) from one object to something in another database

SYNOPSIS

$target1 = Bio::Annotation::Target->new(-target_id  => 'F321966.1',
                                       -start      => 1,
                                       -end        => 200,
                                       -strand     => 1,   # or -1
                                      );

# or

$target2 = Bio::Annotation::Target->new();
$target2->target_id('Q75IM5');
$target2->start(7);
# ... etc ...

# Target is-a Bio::AnnotationI object, can be added to annotation
# collections, e.g. the one on features or seqs
$feat->annotation->add_Annotation('Target', $target2);

DESCRIPTION

APPENDIX

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

AnnotationI implementing functions

as_text

Title   : as_text
Usage   :
Function:
Example :
Returns :
Args    :

display_text

Title   : display_text
Usage   : my $str = $ann->display_text();
Function: returns a string. Unlike as_text(), this method returns a string
          formatted as would be expected for te specific implementation.

          One can pass a callback as an argument which allows custom text
          generation; the callback is passed the current instance and any text
          returned
Example :
Returns : a string
Args    : [optional] callback

tagname

Title   : tagname
Usage   : $obj->tagname($newval)
Function: Get/set the tagname for this annotation value.

          Setting this is optional. If set, it obviates the need to
          provide a tag to Bio::AnnotationCollectionI when adding
          this object. When obtaining an AnnotationI object from the
          collection, the collection will set the value to the tag
          under which it was stored unless the object has a tag
          stored already.

Example :
Returns : value of tagname (a scalar)
Args    : new value (a scalar, optional)

Specific accessors for Targets

target_id

Usage

$obj->target_id()        #get existing value
$obj->target_id($newval) #set new value

Function

Returns

value of target_id (a scalar)

Arguments

new value of target_id (to set)
