=head1 NAME

Bio::Cluster::UniGene - UniGene object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Bio::Cluster::UniGene;
	use Bio::ClusterIO;

	$stream  = Bio::ClusterIO->new('-file' => "Hs.data", 
                                       '-format' => "unigene");
	# note: we quote -format to keep older perl's from complaining.

	while ( my $in = $stream->next_cluster() ) {
		print $in->unigene_id() . "\n";
		while ( my $sequence = $in->next_seq() ) {
			print $sequence->accession_number() . "\n";
		}
       }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This UniGene object implements the L<Bio::Cluster::UniGeneI> interface
for the representation if UniGene clusters in Bioperl. It is returned
by the L<Bio::ClusterIO> parser for unigene format and contains all
the data associated with one UniGene record.

This class implements several interfaces and hence can be used
wherever instances of such interfaces are expected. In particular, the
interfaces are L<Bio::ClusterI> as the base interface for all cluster
representations, and in addition L<Bio::IdentifiableI> and
L<Bio::DescribableI>.

The following lists the UniGene specific methods that are available
(see below for details). Be aware next_XXX iterators take a snapshot
of the array property when they are first called, and this snapshot is
not reset until the iterator is exhausted. Hence, once called you need
to exhaust the iterator to see any changes that have been made to the
property in the meantime. You will usually want to use the
non-iterator equivalents and loop over the elements yourself.

new() - standard new call

unigene_id() - set/get unigene_id

title() - set/get title (description)

gene() - set/get gene

cytoband() - set/get cytoband

mgi() - set/get mgi

locuslink() - set/get locuslink

gnm_terminus() - set/get gnm_terminus

scount() - set/get scount

express() - set/get express, currently takes/returns a reference to an
array of expressed tissues

next_express() - returns the next tissue expression from the expressed
tissue array

chromosome() - set/get chromosome, currently takes/returns a reference
to an array of chromosome lines

next_chromosome() - returns the next chromosome line from the array of
chromosome lines

sts() - set/get sts, currently takes/returns a reference to an array
of sts lines

next_sts() - returns the next sts line from the array of sts lines

txmap() - set/get txmap, currently takes/returns a reference to an
array of txmap lines

next_txmap() - returns the next txmap line from the array of txmap
lines

protsim() - set/get protsim, currently takes/returns a reference to an
array of protsim lines

next_protsim() - returns the next protsim line from the array of
protsim lines

sequences() - set/get sequence, currently takes/returns a reference to
an array of references to seq info

next_seq() - returns a Seq object that currently only contains an
accession number

=head2 cluster_score

 Title   : cluster_score
 Usage   : $cluster ->cluster_score(100);
 Function: get/set for cluster_score which
           represent the score in which the clustering
           algorithm assigns to this cluster.

           For UniGene clusters, there really is no cluster score that
           would come with the data. However, we provide an
           implementation here so that you can score UniGene clusters
           if you want to.

 Returns : a number
 Args    : optionally, on set a number

 Usage   : Bio::ClusterI->get_members(($seq1, $seq2));
 Function: retrieve the members of the family by some criteria

           Will return all members if no criteria are provided.

           At this time this implementation does not support
           specifying criteria and will always return all members.

 Returns : the array of members
 Args    : 

=cut

sub get_members {
    my $self = shift;

    my $mems = $self->sequences() || [];
    # already objects?

    # done
    return @$mems;
}


=head1 Annotatable view at the object properties

=cut

=head2 annotation

 Title   : annotation
 Usage   : $obj->annotation($newval)
 Function: Get/set the L<Bio::AnnotationCollectionI> object for
           this UniGene cluster.

           Many attributes of this class are actually stored within
           the annotation collection object as L<Bio::AnnotationI>
           compliant objects, so you can conveniently access them
           through the same interface as you would e.g. access
           L<Bio::SeqI> annotation properties.

           If you call this method in set mode and replace the
           annotation collection with another one you should know
           exactly what you are doing.

 Example : 
 Returns : a L<Bio::AnnotationCollectionI> compliant object
 Args    : on set, new value (a L<Bio::AnnotationCollectionI> 
           compliant object or undef, optional)


=cut

sub annotation{
    my $self = shift;

    if(@_) {
	return $self->{'annotation'} = shift;
    } elsif(! exists($self->{'annotation'})) {
	$self->{'annotation'} = Bio::Annotation::Collection->new();
    }
    return $self->{'annotation'};

 methods with special functionality.

=cut

=head2 add_member

 Title   : add_member
 Usage   :
 Function: Adds a member object to the list of members.
 Example :
 Returns : TRUE if the new member was successfuly added, and FALSE

=cut

sub add_member{
    my ($self,@mems) = @_;

    my $memlist = $self->{'members'} || [];
    # this is an object interface; is the member list already objects?
    if(@$memlist && (ref($memlist->[0]) eq "HASH")) {
	# nope, convert to objects
        $memlist = [$self->get_members()];
    }
    # add new member(s)

           will re-cycle through the list of elements. Changes in the
           underlying array property while you loop over this iterator
           will not be reflected until you exhaust the iterator.

 Example : 	while ( my $locuslink = $in->next_locuslink() ) {
				print "$locuslink\n";
			}
 Returns : String
 Args    : None

=cut

sub next_locuslink {

			}
 Returns : String
 Args    : None

=cut

sub next_chromosome {

           If you call this iterator again after it returned undef, it
           will re-cycle through the list of elements. Changes in the
           underlying array property while you loop over this iterator
           will not be reflected until you exhaust the iterator.

 Example : 	while ( my $tsmap = $in->next_txmap() ) {
				print "$txmap\n";
			}
 Returns : String
 Args    : None

=head2 object_id

 Title   : object_id
 Usage   : $string    = $obj->object_id()
 Function: a string which represents the stable primary identifier
           in this namespace of this object. For DNA sequences this
           is its accession_number, similarly for protein sequences

           This is aliased to unigene_id().

 Returns : A scalar


=cut

sub object_id {
    return shift->unigene_id(@_);
}

=head2 version

 Title   : version
 Usage   : $version    = $obj->version()
 Function: a number which differentiates between versions of
           the same object. Higher numbers are considered to be
           later and more relevant, but a single object described
           the same identifier should represent the same concept

           Unigene clusters usually won''t have a version, so this
           will be mostly undefined.

 Returns : A number
 Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)


=cut

sub version {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{'version'} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{'version'};
}


=head2 authority

 Title   : authority
 Usage   : $authority    = $obj->authority()
 Function: a string which represents the organisation which
           granted the namespace, written as the DNS name for  
           organisation (eg, wormbase.org)

 Returns : A scalar
 Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)


=cut

sub authority {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{'authority'} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{'authority'};

=head2 namespace

 Title   : namespace
 Usage   : $string    = $obj->namespace()
 Function: A string representing the name space this identifier
           is valid in, often the database name or the name
           describing the collection 

 Returns : A scalar
 Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

    my $self = shift;

=head2 display_name

 Title   : display_name
 Usage   : $string    = $obj->display_name()
 Function: A string which is what should be displayed to the user
           the string should have no spaces (ideally, though a cautious
           user of this interface would not assumme this) and should be
           less than thirty characters (though again, double checking 
           this is a good idea)

           This is aliased to unigene_id().

 Returns : A scalar
 Status  : Virtual

=cut

sub display_name {
    return shift->unigene_id(@_);
}


=head2 description()

 Title   : description
 Usage   : $string    = $obj->description()
 Function: A text string suitable for displaying to the user a 
           description. This string is likely to have spaces, but
           should not have any newlines or formatting - just plain
           text. The string should not be greater than 255 characters
           and clients can feel justified at truncating strings at 255
           characters for the purposes of display

           This is already demanded by Bio::ClusterI and hence is
           present anyway.

 Returns : A scalar

 Title   : next_seq
 Usage   : next_seq();
 Function: Returns the next seq as a Seq object as defined by

           at present an empty Bio::Seq::RichSeq object with 
           just the accession_number() and pid() set

           This iterator will not exhaust the array of member
           sequences. If you call next_seq() again after it returned
           undef, it will re-cycle through the list of member
           sequences.

 Example :  while ( my $sequence = $in->next_seq() ) {
             print $sequence->accession_number() . "\n";
