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 );

  my $genome_size = &get_gz($genome_name);  # genome size.
  my $eff_genome_size = &get_effgz($genome_name);  # effective genome size.
  my $ref_hash_chrom_size = &get_chrsz($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
  provide PERL interfaces for easy access.

EXPORT

  None.
