Class AnnotationAssociation

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Identifiable

    public class AnnotationAssociation
    extends BioSequence2GeneProduct
    An association between BioSequence and GeneProduct that is provided through an external annotation source, rather than our own sequence analysis. Importantly, the 'overlap', 'score' and other parameters will not be filled in. Also note that in these cases the associated BioSequence may not have actual sequence information filled in. This type of association is used as a "last resort" annotation source for the following types of situations: No sequence information is available; annotations are unavailable (e.g., non-model organisms); or sequences are too short to align using our usual methods (e.g., miRNAs).

      • getSource

        public ExternalDatabase getSource()
        Returns:
        The original source of the annotation, such as GEO or flyBase.
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from class: AbstractIdentifiable
        Important note: Never use the ID in the hashCode() implementation since it can be assigned when the object is persisted.

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object object)
        Description copied from class: AbstractIdentifiable
        Important note: Two objects with the same class and non-null ID must be considered equal. If one or both IDs are nulls, the rest of the state can be used to determine equality.
