You cannot use this module directly, use an implementation instead. You can create UniGene cluster objects yourself by instantiating L<Bio::Cluster::UniGene>. If you read UniGene clusters from a ClusterIO parser, you will get objects implementing this interface, most likely instances of said UniGene class. L<Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI> inherits from L<Bio::ClusterI>, so you can use it wherever a cluster object is expected. =head1 FEEDBACK # =head2 Mailing Lists User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bio.perl.org/MailList.html - About the mailing lists =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bioperl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ =head1 AUTHOR - Andrew Macgregor Email andrew@anatomy.otago.ac.nz =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a "_". =cut # Let the code begin... package Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI; use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION); use strict; use Bio::ClusterI; $VERSION = '1.0'; @ISA = qw(Bio::ClusterI); =head2 unigene_id Title : unigene_id Usage : unigene_id(); Function: Returns the unigene_id associated with the object.
