NAME
Bio::ClusterI - Cluster Interface
SYNOPSIS
# see the implementations of this interface for details my $cluster= $cluster->new(-description=>"POLYUBIQUITIN", -members =>[$seq1,$seq2]); my @members = $cluster->get_members(); my @sub_members = $cluster->get_members(-species=>"homo sapiens");
DESCRIPTION
This interface is the basic structure for a cluster of bioperl objects. In this case it is up to the implementer to check arguments and initialize whatever new object the implementing class is designed for.
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.

Implementation Specific Functions
These functions are the ones that a specific implementation must define. new We don't mandate but encourage implementors to support at least the following named parameters upon object initialization. Argument Description -------- ----------- -display_id the display ID or name for the cluster -description the consensus description or name of the cluster -members the array of objects belonging to the family display_id Title : display_id Usage : Function: Get the display name or identifier for the cluster Returns : a string Args : description Title : description Usage : Bio::ClusterI->description("POLYUBIQUITIN") Function: get/set for the consensus description of the cluster Returns : the description string Args : Optional the description string size Title : size Usage : Bio::ClusterI->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 : $cluster ->cluster_score(100); Function: get/set for cluster_score which represent the score in which the clustering algorithm assigns to this cluster. Returns : a number get_members Title : get_members Usage : Bio::ClusterI->get_members(($seq1, $seq2)); Function: retrieve the members of the family by some criteria, for example : $cluster->get_members(-species => 'homo sapiens'); Will return all members if no criteria are provided. Returns : the array of members Args :
