Bio::EnsEMBL::MappedSliceContainer - container for mapped slices
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# get a reference slice
my $slice =
$slice_adaptor->fetch_by_region( 'chromosome', 14, 900000, 950000 );
# create MappedSliceContainer based on the reference slice
my $msc = Bio::EnsEMBL::MappedSliceContainer->new( -SLICE => $slice );
# set the adaptor for fetching AssemblySlices
my $asa = $slice->adaptor->db->get_AssemblySliceAdaptor;
$msc->set_AssemblySliceAdaptor($asa);
# add an AssemblySlice to your MappedSliceContainer
$msc->attach_AssemblySlice('NCBIM36');
foreach my $mapped_slice ( @{ $msc->get_all_MappedSlices } ) {
print $mapped_slice->name, "\n";
foreach my $sf ( @{ $mapped_slice->get_all_SimpleFeatures } ) {
print " ", &to_string($sf), "\n";
}
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
NOTE: this code is under development and not fully functional nor tested
yet. Use only for development.
A MappedSliceContainer holds a collection of one or more
Bio::EnsEMBL::MappedSlices. It is based on a real reference slice and
contains an artificial "container slice" which defines the common
coordinate system used by all attached MappedSlices. There is also a
mapper to convert coordinates between the reference and the container
slice.
Attaching MappedSlices to the container is delegated to adaptors
(which act more as object factories than as traditional Ensembl db
adaptors). The adaptors will also modify the container slice and
associated mapper if required. This design allows us to keep the
MappedSliceContainer generic and encapsulate the data source specific
code in the adaptor/factory module.
In the simplest use case, all required MappedSlices are attached to the
MappedSliceContainer at once (by a single call to the adaptor). This
object should also allow "hot-plugging" of MappedSlices (e.g. attach a
MappedSlice representing a strain to a container that already contains a
multi-species alignment). The methods for attaching new MappedSlice will
be responsable to perform the necessary adjustments to coordinates and
mapper on the existing MappedSlices.

Arg [SLICE] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Slice $slice - the reference slice for this
container
Arg [EXPANDED] : (optional) Boolean $expanded - set expanded mode (default:
collapsed)
Example : my $slice = $slice_adaptor->fetch_by_region('chromosome', 1,
9000000, 9500000);

-SLICE => $slice,

Description : Constructor. See the general documentation of this module for
details about this object. Note that the constructor creates an
empty container, so you'll have to attach MappedSlices to it to
be useful (this is usually done by an adaptor/factory).

Description : Getter/setter for expanded mode.
By default, MappedSliceContainer use collapsed mode, which
means that no inserts in the reference sequence are allowed
when constructing the MappedSlices. in this mode, the
mapped_slice artificial coord system will be identical with the
ref_slice coord system.
By setting expanded mode, you allow inserts in the reference
sequence.
