NAME

       GO::Metadata::Panther - Species info for data used by Panther Clusters

SYNOPSIS

        use GO::Metadata::Panther;
        my $s = GO::Metadata::Panther->code('YEAST');

DESCRIPTION

       Inherits functions from GO::Metadata::UniProt::Species.

       Accesses information related to species in the Panther seq2pthr.gz file.  This file can be
       fetched from: <ftp://ftp.pantherdb.org/genome/pthr7.0/>

   Exportable Subroutines
       panther_codes()
           Returns the list of UniProt species codes that are used in Panther clusters.

       GO::Metadata::Panther->panther_all()
           Returns a list of "GO::Metadata::Panther" objects that are used in Panther clusters.

       valid_codes(...)
           Returns a true value in every argument is a UniProt species code used in Panther
           cluster.  Otherwise returns false.

   OO Function
       GO::Metadata::Panther->new(...);
           This basically hands things off to GO::Metadata::UniProt::Species's new function.
           Populates that with other Panther/GO specific information, and does some error
           correction.

       $s->ncbi_taxa_ids()
           Returns the list of NCBI taxa identifiers associated with the UniProt species code.
           In a perfect word this will only every return one value.  In any case, the first value
           will be the actual numeric identifier associated.

       $s->prefers()
           Returns a list of id types (generally to be populated in "dbxref.xref_dbname") in
           order of preference of use.  If a null list, we have never encountered a conflict that
           needed resolving.
