Bio::PopGen::IndividualI(3)

NAME
Bio::PopGen::IndividualI - An individual who has Genotype or Sequence Results

SYNOPSIS
  # Get a Bio::PopGen::IndividualI somehow
  # test if it has alleles/genotypes for a given marker
  if( $ind->has_marker($markername) ) {
  }
  # get the unique id
  print $ind->unique_id, "\n";

  # get the number of results (genotypes)
  print $ind->num_results;
