NAME

Bio::Chado::Schema::Result::Sequence::FeatureSynonym - Linking table between feature and synonym.

ACCESSORS

feature_synonym_id

  data_type: 'integer'
  is_auto_increment: 1
  is_nullable: 0
  sequence: 'feature_synonym_feature_synonym_id_seq'

synonym_id

  data_type: 'integer'
  is_foreign_key: 1
  is_nullable: 0

feature_id

  data_type: 'integer'
  is_foreign_key: 1
  is_nullable: 0

pub_id

  data_type: 'integer'
  is_foreign_key: 1
  is_nullable: 0

The pub_id link is for relating the usage of a given synonym to the publication in which it was used.

is_current

  data_type: 'boolean'
  default_value: false
  is_nullable: 0

The is_current boolean indicates whether the linked synonym is the current -official- symbol for the linked feature.

is_internal

  data_type: 'boolean'
  default_value: false
  is_nullable: 0

Typically a synonym exists so that somebody querying the db with an obsolete name can find the object theyre looking for (under its current name. If the synonym has been used publicly and deliberately (e.g. in a paper), it may also be listed in reports as a synonym. If the synonym was not used deliberately (e.g. there was a typo which went public), then the is_internal boolean may be set to -true- so that it is known that the synonym is -internal- and should be queryable but should not be listed in reports as a valid synonym.
