|
|
15 Bio::AnnotatableI - the base interface an annotatable object must implement
|
|
16
|
|
17 =head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
18
|
|
19 use Bio::SeqIO;
|
|
20 # get an annotatable object somehow: for example, Bio::SeqI objects
|
|
21 # are annotatable
|
|
22 my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -format => 'genbank);
|
|
23 while (my $seq = $seqio->next_seq()) {
|
|
24 # $seq is-a Bio::AnnotatableI, hence:
|
|
25 my $ann_coll = $seq->annotation();
|
|
26 # $ann_coll is-a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI, hence:
|
|
27 my @all_anns = $ann_coll->get_Annotations();
|
|
28 # do something with the annotation objects
|
|
29 }

|
31 =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
32
|
|
33 This is the base interface that all annotatable objects must implement. A good
|
|
34 example is Bio::Seq which is an AnnotableI object; if you are a little confused
|
|
35 about what this module does, start a Bio::Seq.
