Bio::Map::CytoMap 1.4

Bio::Map::CytoMap is a Bio::MapI compliant map implementation handling cytogenic bands.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Map::CytoMap;
my $map = new Bio::Map::CytoMap(-name => human1,
-species => $human);
foreach my $marker ( @markers ) { # get a list of markers somewhere
$map->add_element($marker);
}

This is the simple implementation of cytogenetic maps based on Bio::Map::MapI. It handles the essential storage of name, species, type, and units as well as in memory representation of the elements of a map.

For CytoMaps type is hard coded to be cytogeneticmap and units are set to but can be set to something else.
