APPENDIX

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

upstream_Exon

Title   : upstream_Exon 
Usage   : $intron->upstream_Exon()
Function: exon upstream of the intron 
Returns : Bio::EnsEMBL::Exon
Args    :

downstream_Exon

Title   : downstream_Exon 
Usage   : $intron->downstream_Exon()
Function: exon downstream of the intron 
Returns : Bio::EnsEMBL::Exon
Args    :

phase

Title   : phase 
Usage   : $intron->phase()
Function: returns the phase of the intron(where it interrupts the codon)  
Returns : int(0,1,2)
Args    :

acceptor_splice_site

Title   : acceptor_splice_site 
Usage   : $intron->acceptor_splice_site(21,3)
Function: returns the sequence corresponding to the 
          consensus acceptor splice site. If start and
          end are provided, it will number of base pairs
          left and right of the canonical AG. Here 21 means
          21 bp into intron and 3 means 3 bp into the exon.
          --Intron--21----|AG|-3-----Exon
          Defaults to 21,3

Returns : Bio::Seq
Args    : start and end

donor_splice_site

Title   : donor_splice_site 
Usage   : $intron->donor_splice_site(3,6)
Function: returns the sequence corresponding to the 
          consensus donor splice site. If start and
          end are provided, it will number of base pairs
          left and right of the canonical GT. Here 3 means
          3 bp into exon and 6 means 6 bp into the intron.
          --Exon-3--|GT|-6----Intron-
          Defaults to 3,6

Returns : Bio::Seq
Args    : start and end
