The classification is stored in an array, which is a list of nodes in a phylogenetic tree. Access to getting and setting species and genus is provided, but not to any of the other node types (eg: "phylum", "class", "order", "family"). There's plenty of scope for making the model more sophisticated, if this is ever needed. A methods are also provided for storing common names, and subspecies. =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 the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated. bioperl-l@bioperl.org - General discussion http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists - About the mailing lists =head2 Support Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list: I rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible. =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web: http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/ =head1 AUTHOR James Gilbert email B =head1 CONTRIBUTORS Sendu Bala, bix@sendu.me.uk =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::Species; use strict; use Bio::DB::Taxonomy; use Bio::Tree::Tree; use Scalar::Util qw(weaken isweak); use base qw(Bio::Taxon); =head2 new Title : new Usage : my $obj = Bio::Species->new(-classification => \@class) Function: Build a new Species object Returns : Bio::Species object Args : -ncbi_taxid => NCBI taxonomic ID (optional) -classification => arrayref of classification =cut sub new { my($class, @args) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args); my ($org, $sp, $var, $classification) = $self->_rearrange([qw(ORGANELLE SUB_SPECIES VARIANT CLASSIFICATION)], @args); if (defined $classification && ref($classification) eq "ARRAY" && @{$classification}) { $self->classification(@$classification); } else { # store a tree on ourselves so we can use Tree methods $self->{tree} = Bio::Tree::Tree->new(); # some things want to freeze/thaw Bio::Species objects, but # _root_cleanup_methods contains a CODE ref, delete it. # delete $self->{tree}->{_root_cleanup_methods}; } defined $org && $self->organelle($org); defined $sp && $self->sub_species($sp); defined $var && $self->variant($var); return $self; } =head2 classification Title : classification Usage : $self->classification(@class_array); @classification = $self->classification(); Function: Get/set the lineage of this species.
