NAME

Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI - Interface for a feature representing an exon

SYNOPSIS

See documentation of methods.

DESCRIPTION

A feature representing an exon. An exon in this definition is transcribed and at least for one particular transcript not spliced out of the pre-mRNA. However, it does not necessarily code for amino acid.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

is_coding

  Title   : is_coding
  Usage   : if($exon->is_coding()) {
                    # do something
            }
  Function: Whether or not the exon codes for amino acid.
  Returns : TRUE if the object represents a feature translated into protein,
            and FALSE otherwise.
  Args    :
 
 

cds

  Title   : cds()
  Usage   : $cds = $exon->cds();
  Function: Get the coding sequence of the exon as a sequence object.
 
            The returned sequence object must be in frame 0, i.e., the first
            base starts a codon.
 
            An implementation may return undef, indicating that a coding
            sequence does not exist, e.g. for a UTR (untranslated region).
 
  Returns : A L<Bio::PrimarySeqI> implementing object.
  Args    :
