NAME

Bio::Network::Edge - holds the names of pairs of Nodes

SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Network;

  # get a network, somehow, then:
  my @edges = $graph->edges;
  for my $edge (@edges) {
    for my $node ($edge->[0],$edge->[1]) {
      my @proteins = $node->proteins;
      for my $protein (@proteins) {
        print "Sequence is: ", $protein->seq, "\n";
      }
    }  
  }

DESCRIPTION

This class contains the names of the Nodes in a bi-molecular interaction. An Edge object is extremely simple as most of the experimental or biological detail goes into the Interaction objects.

new

 Name       : new
 Purpose    : Constructor for an Edge object
 Usage      : my $edge = Bio::Network::Edge->new(-nodes => \@nodes);
 Returns    : A new Bio::Network::Edge object 
 Arguments  : -nodes => reference to an array containing a 
              pair of Nodes

nodes

 Name       : nodes
 Purpose    : Get the pair of nodes for an Edge
 Usage      : my $count = $edge->nodes
                       or
              my @nodes = $edge->nodes
 Returns    : Gets an array of 2 Nodes or a count of the number of
              Nodes
 Arguments  :
 Notes      : Getting a count of the number of Nodes in an edge will
              almost always return 2, but there is a formal possibility
              that a Node could interact with itself, returning 1
