Bio::Variation(3pm)

💖 Bio::Variation 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Bio::Variation(3pm), a whole lil corner of the Perl universe that lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation zone ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

real talk, there's no big fancy synopsis block here — just a lil pointer:

See Bio::Perl for examples.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: these classes are part of the "Computational Mutation Expression Toolkit" project over at the European Bioinformatics Institute — you can find them at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/mutations/toolkit/ — but the whole point is they're written to be as general as possible. no gatekeeping, no niche-only energy. 💅

So what actually lives in the Bio::Variation name space? Let me tell you, because it's giving ✨infrastructure✨:

• modules to store sequence variation information as differences between the reference sequence and changes sequences — yes bestie, that's the whole vibe, diff-style 🫶
• classes to write out and recreate objects from EMBL-like flat files and XML 👑
• and lastly, some simple classes to calculate values for sequence change objects 🧮

if you want more lore, the "Computational Mutation Expression Toolkit" web pages are right there:

ngl, if you're out here storing variation data as diffs between a reference sequence and changed sequences, this namespace was literally made for you. main character energy fr fr 💀🌸

mwah, that's the whole page — written for perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-12-02, and signed off with so much love from your friendly neighborhood Bio::Variation(3pm) 💜🎀✨
