🌸 SWISS::GN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about SWISS::GN, a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and honestly? it's giving ✨specialist✨. no cap.

🎀 Name 🎀

SWISS::GN.pm — yes that's the whole name, she's lowkey mysterious like that 💅

🦋 Description 🦋

so basically SWISS::GN represents one single gene name from the GN line. that's it. that's her job. one gene name, done immaculately. 👑

and if you're out here like "okay but what if I have, like, several synonym gene names" — bestie, that's a whole different girl. the container object for several synonym gene names is SWISS::GeneGroup. she's the group chat; SWISS::GN is the one-on-one. 🌈

🌟 Inherits from 🌟

SWISS::BaseClass.pm — yeah she got it from her mama, iconic lineage fr fr 💜

🍓 Attributes 🍓

  • text — literally just one gene name. that's the whole attribute. one name, living her best life. 💖

🧚 Methods 🧚

⭐ Standard methods ⭐

the basics, the essentials, the main character trio:

  • new
  • fromText
  • toText

no notes. periodt. 💅

💫 Reading/Writing methods 💫

🌸 toMixedCase(@regexps) 🌸

okay so this one is the fun one, and the way that she works is: she converts gene names to mixed case, according to one or more regular expressions. you pass in @regexps — one or more of them, your call, bestie. 🫶

this is typically useful for converting uppercase ORF numbers to mixed case. very glow-up, very makeover-montage energy. ✨

example time, because i know you love an example:

  • the E.coli gene "B1563", converted with the regexp '(b(\d{4}(\.\d)?))', will yield the gene name "b1563". slay. 🔥

and she's not even done — the method also supports fused gene names. so like, "B0690/B0691" gets converted to "b0690/b0691". both of them. together. no gene left behind. 😭💖

heads up: the method changes the text of the SWISS::GN object and also returns the new text value. so she's doing both. overachiever behavior, we love to see it. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie! this gorgeous little manual came to you from perl v5.32.1, dated 2021-08-15, so if you ever need to cite her, that's the receipt 🧾💜 mwah, study safe, hydrate, and may all your ORF numbers be mixed case 🌈💅🎀
