NAME¶
Bio::DB::SeqFeature::NormalizedTableFeatureI -- Interface for normalized
features whose hierarchy is stored in a table
SYNOPSIS¶
none
DESCRIPTION¶
This is an extremely simple interface that contains a single method,
subfeatures_are_stored_in_a_table(). This method returns a true value.
Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store feature classes will inherit this interface to flag
that in addition to being able to store features in a normalized way, they
will use the Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store database to record their parent/child
relationships. A class that inherits from NormalizedTableFeatureI will also
inherit from NormalizedFeatureI, as the first is a subclass of the second.
BUGS¶
None, but the whole class design might be flawed.
