APPENDIX

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

new

Title   : new
Usage   : $protein = Bio::LiveSeq::Translation->new(-transcript => $transcr);

Function: generates a new Bio::LiveSeq::Translation
Returns : reference to a new object of class Translation
Errorcode -1
Args    : reference to an object of class Transcript

get_Transcript

Title   : valid
Usage   : $transcript = $obj->get_Transcript()
Function: retrieves the reference to the object of class Transcript (if any)
          attached to a LiveSeq object
Returns : object reference
Args    : none

aa_ranges

Title   : aa_ranges
Usage   : @proteinfeatures = $translation->aa_ranges()
Function: to retrieve all the LiveSeq AARange objects attached to a
          Translation, usually created out of a SwissProt database entry
          crossreferenced from an EMBL CDS feature.
Returns : an array
Args    : none
