NAME

       Bio::PopGen::IndividualI - An individual who has Genotype or Sequence Results

SYNOPSIS

         # Get a Bio::PopGen::IndividualI somehow
         # test if it has alleles/genotypes for a given marker
         if( $ind->has_marker($markername) ) {
         }
         # get the unique id
         print $ind->unique_id, "\n";

         # get the number of results (genotypes)
         print $ind->num_results;

       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.

   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

       usually preceded with a _

   unique_id
        Title   : unique_id
        Usage   : my $id = $individual->unique_id
        Function: Unique Identifier
        Returns : string representing unique identifier
        Args    : string

   num_genotypes
        Title   : num_genotypes
        Usage   : my $count = $person->num_results;
        Function: returns the count of the number of Results for a person
        Returns : integer
        Args    : none

   annotation
        Title   : annotation
        Usage   : my $annotation_collection = $ind->annotation;
        Function: Get/set a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI for this individual

   get_Genotypes
        Title   : get_Genotypes
        Usage   : my @genotypes = $ind->get_Genotypes(-marker => $markername);
        Function: Get the genotypes for an individual, based on a criteria
        Returns : Array of genotypes
        Args    : either none (return all genotypes) or
                  -marker => name of marker to return (exact match, case matters)

        Title   : has_Marker
        Usage   : if( $ind->has_Marker($name) ) {}
        Function: Boolean test to see if an Individual has a genotype
                  for a specific marker
        Returns : Boolean (true or false)
        Args    : String representing a marker name

   get_marker_names
        Title   : get_marker_names
        Usage   : my @names = $individual->get_marker_names;
