=head1 NAME
Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene - a predicted gene structure feature
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See documentation of methods.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A feature representing a predicted gene structure. This class actually
inherits off Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::Transcript and therefore has all that
functionality, plus a few methods supporting predicted sequence features,
like a predicted CDS and a predicted translation.
Exons held by an instance of this class will usually be instances of
Bio::Tools::Prediction::Exon, although they do not have to be. Refer to the
documentation of the class that produced the instance.
Normally, you will not want to create an instance of this class yourself.
Instead, classes representing the results of gene structure prediction
programs will do that.

=head1 APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

# Let the code begin...
package Bio::Tools::Prediction::Gene;
use vars qw(@ISA);
use strict;
use Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::Transcript;
@ISA = qw(Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::Transcript);
sub new {
my($class,@args) = @_;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args);
my ($primary) = $self->_rearrange([qw(PRIMARY)],@args);
$primary = 'predicted_gene' unless $primary;
$self->primary_tag($primary);
return $self;
}
=head2 predicted_cds
Title : predicted_cds
Usage : $predicted_cds_dna = $gene->predicted_cds();
$gene->predicted_cds($predicted_cds_dna);
Function: Get/Set the CDS (coding sequence) as predicted by a program.
This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
guarantee whatsoever that the returned CDS has anything to do
(e.g., matches) with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
through this object.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA sequence
defined as coding by a prediction of a program.
Args : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the DNA
sequence defined as coding by a prediction of a program.
=cut
sub predicted_cds {
my ($self, $cds) = @_;
if(defined($cds)) {
$self->{'_predicted_cds'} = $cds;
}
return $self->{'_predicted_cds'};
}
=head2 predicted_protein
Title : predicted_protein
Usage : $predicted_protein_seq = $gene->predicted_protein();
$gene->predicted_protein($predicted_protein_seq);
Function: Get/Set the protein translation as predicted by a program.
This method is independent of an attached_seq. There is no
guarantee whatsoever that the returned translation has anything to
do with the sequence covered by the exons as annotated
through this object, or the sequence returned by predicted_cds(),
although it should usually be just the standard translation.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein
translation as predicted by a program.
Args : On set, a Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object holding the protein
translation as predicted by a program.
=cut
sub predicted_protein {
my ($self, $aa) = @_;
if(defined($aa)) {
$self->{'_predicted_aa'} = $aa;
}
return $self->{'_predicted_aa'};
}
