NAME
Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo - Perl object for small inhibitory RNAs.
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo;
my $oligo = Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo->
new( -seq => 'AUGCCGAUUGCAAGUCAGATT',
-start => 10,
-end => 31,
-strand => -1,
-primary => 'SiRNA::Oligo',
-source_tag => 'Bio::Tools::SiRNA',
-tag => { note => 'A note' }, );
# normally two complementary Oligos are combined in an SiRNA::Pair
# object
$pair->antisense($oligo);
DESCRIPTION
Object methods for single SiRNA oligos - inherits Bio::SeqFeature::Generic. Does not include methods for designing SiRNAs - see Bio::Tools::SiRNA for that.
SEE ALSO
Bio::Tools::SiRNA, Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Pair.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _
new
Title : new
Usage : my $sirna_oligo = Bio::SeqFeature::SiRNA::Oligo->new();
Function : Create a new SiRNA::Oligo object
Returns : Bio::Tools::SiRNA object
Args : -seq sequence of the RNAi oligo. Should be in RNA alphabet
except for the final TT overhang.
-start start position
-end end position
-strand strand
-primary primary tag - defaults to 'SiRNA::Oligo'
-source source tag
-score score value
-tag a reference to a tag/value hash
-seq_id the display name of the sequence
-annotation the AnnotationCollectionI object
-location the LocationI object
Currently passing arguments in gff_string or gff1_string is not supported. SiRNA::Oligo objects are typically created by a design algorithm such as Bio::Tools::SiRNA
seq
Title : Seq
Usage : my $oligo_sequence = $sirna_oligo->seq();
Purpose : Get/set the sequence of the RNAi oligo
Returns : Sequence for the RNAi oligo
Args : Sequence of the RNAi oligo (optional)
Note : Overloads Bio::SeqFeature::Generic seq method - the oligo and
parent sequences are different.
Note that all but the last 2 nucleotides are RNA (per Tuschl and colleagues).
SiRNA::Pair objects are typically created by a design algorithm such as
Bio::Tools::SiRNA.
