NAME
Bio::Phenotype::Correlate - Representation of a correlating phenotype in a given species
SYNOPSIS
use Bio::Phenotype::Correlate;
$co = Bio::Phenotype::Correlate->new( -name => "4(Tas1r3)",
-description => "mouse correlate of human phenotype MIM 605865",
-species => $mouse,
-type => "homolog",
-comment => "type=homolog is putative" );
print $co->name();
print $co->description();
print $co->species()->binomial();
print $co->type();
print $co->comment();
print $co->to_string();
DESCRIPTION
This class models correlating phenotypes. Its creation was inspired by the OMIM database where many human phenotypes have a correlating
mouse phenotype. Therefore, this class is intended to be used together with a phenotype class.
FEEDBACK
Mailing Lists
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Support
Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:
bioperl-l@bioperl.org
rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.
