NAME
Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily - Sequence Family object
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::SeqIO;
use Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily;
use File::Spec;
my $file = File::Spec->catfile('t','data','swiss.dat');
my $seqio= Bio::SeqIO->new(-format => 'swiss',
-file => $file);
my @mem;
while(my $seq = $seqio->next_seq){
push @mem, $seq;
}
#create the family
my $family = Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily->new(
-family_id=>"Family_1",
-description=>"Family Description Here",
-annotation_score=>"100",
-members=>\@mem);
#access the family
foreach my $mem ($family->get_members){
print $mem->display_id."\t".$mem->desc."\n";
}
#select members if members have a Bio::Species Object
my @mem = $family->get_members(-binomial=>"Homo sapiens");
@mem = $family->get_members(-ncbi_taxid => 9606);
@mem = $family->get_members(-common_name=>"Human");
@mem = $family->get_members(-species=>"sapiens");
@mem = $family->get_members(-genus=>"Homo");
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple Family object that may hold any group of object. For more specific
families, one should derive from FamilyI.

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.

APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are
usually preceded with a "_".
new
Title : new
Usage : my $family = Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily->new(
-family_id=>"Family_1",
-description=>"Family Description Here",
-annotation_score=>"100",
-members=>\@mem);
Function: Constructor for SequenceFamily object
Returns : Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily object
See Bio::Cluster::SequenceFamily.
version
Title : version
Usage : $family->version("1.0");
Function: get/set for version
Returns : a string version of the family generated.
annotation_score
Title : annotation_score
Usage : $family->annotation_score(100);
Function: get/set for annotation_score which
represent the confidence in which the
consensus description has been assigned
to the family.
Returns : Bio::SimpleAlign
See Bio::SimpleAlign
alignment
Title : alignment
Usage : $family->alignment($align);
Function: get/set for an alignment object representing
the multiple alignment of the members of the family.
Returns : Bio::SimpleAlign
See Bio::SimpleAlign
tree
Title : tree
Usage : $family->tree($tree);
Function: get/set for an tree object representing
the phylogenetic tree of the family.
Returns : Bio::Tree
See Bio::Tree
Bio::Cluster::FamilyI methods
family_score
Title : family_score
Usage : Bio::Cluster::FamilyI->family_score(95);
Function: get/set for the score of algorithm used to generate
the family if present
This is aliased to cluster_score().
Returns : the score
Args : the score
family_id
Title : family_id
Usage : $family->family_id("Family_1");
Function: get/set for family id
This is aliased to display_id().
Returns : a string specifying identifier of the family
Bio::ClusterI methods
display_id
Title : display_id
Usage :
Function: Get/set the display name or identifier for the cluster
Returns : a string
Args : optional, on set the display ID ( a string)
description
Title : description
Usage : $fam->description("POLYUBIQUITIN")
Function: get/set for the consensus description of the cluster
Returns : the description string
Args : Optional the description string
get_members
Title : get_members
Usage : Valid criteria:
-common_name
-binomial
-ncbi_taxid
-organelle
-genus
$family->get_members(-common_name =>"human");
$family->get_members(-species =>"homo sapiens");
$family->get_members(-ncbi_taxid => 9606);
For now, multiple critieria are ORed.
Will return all members if no criteria are provided.
Function: get members using methods from L<Bio::Species>
the phylogenetic tree of the family.
Returns : an array of objects that are member of this family.
size
Title : size
Usage : $fam->size();
Function: get/set for the size of the family,
calculated from the number of members
Returns : the size of the family
Args :
cluster_score
Title : cluster_score
Usage : $fam->cluster_score(100);
Function: get/set for cluster_score which
represent the score in which the clustering
algorithm assigns to this cluster.
Returns : a number
Implementation specific methods
These are mostly for adding/removing/changing.
add_members
Title : add_members
Usage : $fam->add_member([$seq1,$seq1]);
Function: add members to a family
Returns :
Args : the member(s) to add, as an array or arrayref
remove_members
Title : remove_members
Usage : $fam->remove_members();
Function: remove all members from a family
Returns : the previous array of members
Args : none
members
Title : members
Usage : $members = $fam->members([$seq1,$seq1]);
Function: Deprecated. Use add_members() or get_members() instead
