# Bio::Map::Clone(3pm)

An central map object representing a clone

## NAME

Bio::Map::Clone - An central map object representing a clone

## SYNOPSIS

```
   # get the clone object of $clone from the Bio::Map::Clone
   my $cloneobj = $physical->get_cloneobj($clone);
   # acquire all the markers that hit this clone
   foreach my $marker ($cloneobj->each_markerid()) {
       print "   +++$marker\n";
   }
```

See Bio::Map::Position and Bio::Map::PositionI for more information.

## DESCRIPTION

This object handles the notion of a clone. This clone will have a name and a position in a map.

This object is intended to be used by a map parser like fpc.pm.

## 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 the Bioperl mailing list.  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.

### Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:
