NAME¶
Bio::DB::GFF::Featname -- The name of a feature
SYNOPSIS¶
use Bio::DB::GFF;
my $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new( -adaptor => 'dbi:mysql',
-dsn => 'dbi:mysql:elegans42');
my $feature = Bio::DB::GFF::Featname->new(Locus => 'unc-19');
my $segment = $db->segment($feature);
DESCRIPTION¶
Bio::DB::GFF::Featname is the name of a feature. It contains two fields: name
and class. It is typically used by the Bio::DB::GFF module to denote a group,
and is accepted by Bio::DB::Relsegment->
new() and
Bio::DB::GFF->
segment() as a replacement for the -name and -class
arguments.
