NAME

PJ::Genome - Module for convenient access to genome statistics, such as chromosome lengths.

SYNOPSIS

  use PJ::Genome qw( get_gz get_effgz get_chrsz );

  &get_gz(genome_name); # genome size.
  &get_effgz(genome_name);      # effective genome size.
  &get_chrsz(genome_name);      # chromosome lengths in a reference to hash table.

DESCRIPTION

  Many bioinformatics functions need information about a genome, such as the genome size,
  chromosome lengths. This module contains these information for a few model species and
