Bio::AnnotatableI

NAME

Bio::AnnotatableI - the base interface an annotatable object must implement

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::SeqIO;
# get an annotatable object somehow: for example, Bio::SeqI objects
# are annotatable
my $seqio = Bio::SeqIO->new(-fh => \*STDIN, -format => 'genbank');
while (my $seq = $seqio->next_seq()) {
# $seq is-a Bio::AnnotatableI, hence:
my $ann_coll = $seq->annotation();
# $ann_coll is-a Bio::AnnotationCollectionI, hence:
my @all_anns = $ann_coll->get_Annotations();
# do something with the annotation objects
}

DESCRIPTION

This is the base interface that all annotatable objects must implement. A good example is Bio::Seq which is an AnnotableI object.
