NAME
Bio::PopGen::Marker - A genetic marker which one uses to generate genotypes SYNOPSIS
my $name = $marker->name(); # marker name my $description = $marker->description(); # description my $type = $marker->type(); # coded type of the marker my $unique_id = $marker->unique_id; # optional unique ID my @alleles = $marker->get_Alleles(); # the known alleles my %allele_freqs = $marker->get_Allele_Frequencies(); # keys are marker names # vals are frequencies # may change to handle multiple populations DESCRIPTION
This object will not contain genotype information pertaining to an individual, but rather population level statistics and descriptive information about a marker. 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 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists 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 of the bugs and their resolution.
