14 =head1 NAME
16 Bio::Map::MappableI - An object that can be placed in a map
18 =head1 SYNOPSIS
20 # do not use this module directly
21 # See Bio::Map::Mappable for an example of
22 # implementation.
24 =head1 DESCRIPTION
26 This object handles the generic notion of an element placed on a
27 (linear) Map. A Mappable can have multiple positions in multiple maps, such as
28 is the case of Restriction enzyme cut sites on sequence maps. For exact
29 information about a mappable's position in a map one must query the associate
30 PositionI objects which are accessible through the get_positions() method.

36 User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
37 Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to

43 =head2 Support
45 Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

49 rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
50 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
51 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
52 with code and data examples if at all possible.
