Interface UnigeneCluster

All Superinterfaces:
Annotatable, Changeable

public interface UnigeneCluster extends Annotatable

A single unigene cluster.

This represents all of the information available about a single unigene cluster. This includes the sequences that are in it, the unique sequence that is its representative, the cluster id and all the annotation available via the data file. Much of the annotation may be accessible via the getAnnotation() method.

There is much more information in the Unigene clusters than just the id, title and sequences. This is all stoored in the annotation associated with the cluster. The annotation bundle conforms to the schema in UnigeneTools.UNIGENE_ANNOTATION.
