Chain-class: Chain objects
Description
A Chain object represents a UCSC chain alignment, typically
imported from a chain file, and is essentially a list of
ChainBlock objects. Each ChainBlock has a corresponding
chromosome (its name in the list) and is a run-length
encoded alignment, mapping a set of intervals on that chromosome to
intervals on the same or other chromosomes.See Also
