=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Allele - A single allele of a nucleotide variation.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    $allele = Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Allele->new
       (-allele => 'A',
        -frequency => 0.85,
        -population => $population);

    $delete = Bio::EnsEMBL::Variation::Allele->new
       (-allele => '-',
        -frequency => 0.15,
        -population => $population);

    ...

    $astr = $a->allele();
    $pop  = $a->population();
    $freq = $a->frequency();

    print $a->allele();
    if($a->populaton) {
       print " found in population ", $allele->population->name();
    }
    if(defined($a->frequency())) {
      print " with frequency ", $a->frequency();
    }
    print "\n";



=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a class representing a single allele of a variation.  In addition to
the nucleotide(s) (or absence of) that representing the allele frequency
and population information may be present.
