DESCRIPTION

This aggregator was written to be compatible with the C elegans GFF files. It aggregates raw "CDS", "5'UTR", "3'UTR", "polyA" and "TSS" features into "transcript" features. For compatibility with the idiosyncrasies of the Sanger GFF format, it expects that the full range of the transcript is contained in a main feature of type "Sequence".
