Class Bio::Map::SimpleMap
In: lib/bio/map.rb
Parent: Object

Description

This class handles the essential storage of name, type and units of a map. It includes Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap, and therefore supports the methods of that module.

Usage

  my_map1 = Bio::Map::SimpleMap.new('RH_map_ABC (2006)', 'RH', 'cR')
  my_map1.add_marker(Bio::Map::Marker.new('marker_a', '17')
  my_map1.add_marker(Bio::Map::Marker.new('marker_b', '5')

Methods

new  

Included Modules

Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap

Attributes

length  [RW]  Length of the map
mappings_as_map  [RW]  Mappings
name  [RW]  Name of the map
type  [RW]  Type of the map
units  [RW]  Units of the map

Public Class methods

new(name = nil, type = nil, length = nil, units = nil)

Builds a new Bio::Map::SimpleMap object

Arguments:

  • name: name of the map
  • type: type of the map (e.g. linkage, radiation_hybrid, cytogenetic, …)
  • units: unit of the map (e.g. cM, cR, …)
Returns:new Bio::Map::SimpleMap object
