NAME

Bio::MAGETAB::MatrixRow - MAGE-TAB matrix row class

SYNOPSIS

 use Bio::MAGETAB::MatrixRow;

DESCRIPTION

This class is used to describe the rows of a MAGE-TAB data matrix. It acts as a mapping between a numbered row in the matrix, and the design element (Feature, Reporter or CompositeElement) to which it applies. See the BaseClass class for superclass methods.

ATTRIBUTES

rowNumber (required): The number of the row in the data matrix. Rows are assumed to be numbered from top to bottom, starting at one for the first data row; however this is not constrained by the model and you may use whatever local conventions you prefer (data type: Integer).
designElement (required): The DesignElement to which the data in this row applies (data type: Bio::MAGETAB::DesignElement).

METHODS

Each attribute has accessor (get_*) and mutator (set_*) methods, and also predicate (has_*) and clearer (clear_*) methods where the attribute is optional. Where an attribute represents a one-to-many relationship the mutator accepts an arrayref and the accessor returns an array.
