Bio::Map::MarkerI methods

get_position_object

 Title   : get_position_class
 Usage   : my $position = $marker->get_position_object();
 Function: To get an object of the default Position class
           for this Marker. Subclasses should redefine this method.
           The Position returned needs to be a L<Bio::Map::PositionI> with
                   -element set to self.
 Returns : L<Bio::Map::PositionI>
 Args    : none for an 'empty' PositionI object, optionally
           Bio::Map::MapI and value string to set the Position's -map and -value
           attributes.

Comparison methods

The numeric values for cutogeneic loctions go from the p tip of chromosome 1, down to the q tip and similarly throgh consecutive chromosomes, through X and end the the q tip of X. See Bio::Map::CytoPosition::cytorange for more details.

New methods

get_chr

 Title   : get_chr
 Usage   : my $mychr = $marker->get_chr();
 Function: Read only method for the  chromosome string of the location.
           A shortcut to $marker->position->chr().
 Returns : chromosome value
 Args    : [optional] new chromosome value
