NAME

       Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI - abstract interface of UniGene object

SYNOPSIS

         #

DESCRIPTION

       This is the general interface for a UniGene cluster representation in Bioperl. You cannot
       use this module directly, use an implementation instead.

       You can create UniGene cluster objects yourself by instantiating Bio::Cluster::UniGene. If
       you read UniGene clusters from a ClusterIO parser, you will get objects implementing this
       interface, most likely instances of said UniGene class.

       Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI inherits from Bio::ClusterI, so you can use it wherever a cluster
       object is expected.

   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
