NAME¶
Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene - a predicted gene structure feature
SYNOPSIS¶
#See documentation of methods.
DESCRIPTION¶
A feature representing a predicted gene structure. This class actually inherits
off Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::Transcript and therefore has all that
functionality, plus a few methods supporting predicted sequence features, like
a predicted CDS and a predicted translation.
Exons held by an instance of this class will usually be instances of
Bio::Tools::Prediction::Exon, although they do not have to be. Refer to the
documentation of the class that produced the instance.
Normally, you will not want to create an instance of this class yourself.
Instead, classes representing the results of gene structure prediction
programs will do that.
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 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 resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

APPENDIX¶
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal
methods are usually preceded with a _
predicted_cds¶
Title : predicted_cds
Usage : $predicted_cds_dna = $gene->predicted_cds();
$gene->predicted_cds($predicted_cds_dna);
Function: Get/Set the CDS (coding sequence) as predicted by a program.
This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
guarantee whatsoever that the returned CDS has anything to do
(e.g., matches) with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
through this object.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA sequence
defined as coding by a prediction of a program.
Args : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA
sequence defined as coding by a prediction of a program.
predicted_protein¶
Title : predicted_protein
Usage : $predicted_protein_seq = $gene->predicted_protein();
$gene->predicted_protein($predicted_protein_seq);
Function: Get/Set the protein translation as predicted by a program.
This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
guarantee whatsoever that the returned translation has anything to
do with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
through this object, or the sequence returned by predicted_cds(),
although it should usually be just the standard translation.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein
translation as predicted by a program.
Args : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein
translation as predicted by a program.
