NAME

       Bio::Phenotype::Correlate - Representation of a correlating phenotype in a given species

SYNOPSIS

	 use Bio::Phenotype::Correlate;

	 $co = Bio::Phenotype::Correlate->new( -name	    => "4(Tas1r3)",
					       -description => "mouse correlate of human phenotype MIM 605865",
					       -species     => $mouse,
					       -type	    => "homolog",
					       -comment     => "type=homolog is putative" );

	 print $co->name();
	 print $co->description();
	 print $co->species()->binomial();
	 print $co->type();
	 print $co->comment();

	 print $co->to_string();

DESCRIPTION

       This class models correlating phenotypes.  Its creation was inspired by the OMIM database where many human phenotypes have a correlating
       mouse phenotype. Therefore, this class is intended to be used together with a phenotype class.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
       of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
       it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
