NAME

Bio::PopGen::Individual - An implementation of an Individual who has Genotype or Sequence Results

SYNOPSIS

   use Bio::PopGen::Individual;
 
   my $ind = Bio::PopGen::Individual->new(-unique_id => $id,
                                         -genotypes => \@genotypes);
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This object is a container for genotypes.

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 the Bioperl mailing list. 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.
