Module: Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap

Included in:
SimpleMap
Defined in:
lib/bio/map.rb

Overview

Description

The Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap module contains methods that are typical for map-like things:

  • add markers with their locations (through Bio::Map::Mappings)

  • check if a given marker is mapped to it, and can be mixed into other classes (e.g. Bio::Map::SimpleMap)

Classes that include this mixin should provide an array property called mappings_as_map.

For example:

class MyMapThing
  include Bio::Map::ActsLikeMap

  def initialize (name)
    @name = name
    @mappings_as_maps = Array.new
  end
  attr_accessor :name, :mappings_as_map
 end

Instance Method Details

#add_mapping_as_map(marker, location = nil) ⇒ Object

Description

Adds a Bio::Map::Mappings object to its array of mappings.

Usage

# suppose we have a Bio::Map::SimpleMap object called my_map
my_map.add_mapping_as_map(Bio::Map::Marker.new('marker_a'), '5')

Arguments:

  • marker (required): Bio::Map::Marker object

  • location: location of mapping. Should be a string, not a number.

Returns

itself
