💖 NAME 💖

Bio::DB::GFF::Homol — it's a segment of DNA that's homologous to another one, bestie 🧬✨

This is the Bio::D...::Homol(3pm) page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and we are so glad you're here 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

See Bio::DB::GFF.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so Bio::DB::GFF::Homol is a named subtype of Bio::DB::GFF::Segment. It inherits every single method from its parent, no questions asked, and the whole reason it exists is honestly kind of iconic: it was made primarily to allow for isa() queries and for compatibility with Ace::Sequence::Homol. That's it. That's the job. 💅

A Homol object is typically returned as the method result of the Bio::DB::GFF::Feature->target() method. So if you called target() and got a little guy back that's a Homol, now you know why 🎀

👑 METHODS 👑

🌈 name

Title   : name
Usage   : $name = $homol->name
Function: get the ID of the homology object
Returns : a string
Args    : none
Status  : Public

Grab the ID of the homology object. That's it, that's the whole vibe — you get a string back and you didn't have to pass it anything ✨

🍓 asString

Title   : asString
Usage   : $name = $homol->asString
Function: same as name(), for operator overloading
Returns : a string
Args    : none
Status  : Public

Literally the same thing as name(), except it's here for operator overloading so your objects can stringify like a main character. Returns a string, takes nothing. Slay 🌸

🧚 id

Title   : id
Usage   : $id = $homol->id
Function: get database ID in class:id format
Returns : a string
Args    : none
Status  : Public

This one hands you the database ID, formatted as class:id. Note the format, bestie — it's giving class:id, not just a bare id. No args, returns a string, we move 💜

💀 BUGS 💀

This module is still under development. 🚧 Not me waiting for it to be finished... it's under construction, fr fr. Heads up accordingly.
