Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::reftranscript

NAME

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::reftranscript -- Aggregates references transcripts

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator;

DESCRIPTION

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::retranscript was written to make the compound feature, "reftranscript" for use with Gbrowse editing software developed outside of the GMOD development group. It can be used to aggregate "reftranscripts" from "refexons", loaded as second copy features. These features, in contrast to "transcripts", are usually implemented as features which cannot be edited and serve as starting point references for annotations added using Gbrowse for feature visualization. Adding features to the compound feature, "reftranscript", can be done by adding to the "part_names" call (i.e. "refCDS").
