SYNOPSIS
use Bio::DB::GFF::Util::Binning qw(bin bin_bot bin_top);
my $tier = bin($start,$stop,$min);
DESCRIPTION
This is a utility module that exports the functions bin(), bin_bot()
and bin_top(). These functions translate a range on the genome into a
named bin that is used as an index in the Bio::DB::GFF schema. The
index makes certain range retrieval queries much faster.
API
The remainder of the document describes the function calls. No calls
are exported by default, but must be imported explicitly.
$bin_name = bin($start,$stop,$bin_size)
Given a start, stop and bin size on the genome, translate this
location into a bin name. In a list context, returns the bin tier
name and the position that the bin begins.
$bottom = bin_bot($tier,$start)
Given a tier name and a range start position, returns the lower end
of the bin range.
$top = bin_top($tier,$end)
Given a tier name and the end of a range, returns the upper end of
the bin range.
BUGS
None known yet.
