Method Summary

java.lang.String	getPersistent() Get a persistent string representation (if needed) of this validator. The name is different allowing the same class to implement both Supergene and supergeneValidator. The default implementation returns an empty string.
abstract boolean	isValid(Gene[] genes, Supergene for_supergene) Return true if this gene combination is valid for the given supergene
void	setFromPersistent(java.lang.String a_from) Set a persistend string representation (if needed) for this validator. The name is different allowing the same class to implement both Supergene and supergeneValidator. The default implementation does nothing.
