.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Ace::Sequence::Gene is a subclass of Ace::Sequence::Feature.  It
inherits all the methods of Ace::Sequence::Feature, but adds the
ability to retrieve the annotated introns and exons of the gene.
.SH "OBJECT CREATION"
.IX Header "OBJECT CREATION"
You will not ordinarily create an \fIAce::Sequence::Gene\fR object
directly.  Instead, objects will be created in response to a
\&\fBtranscripts()\fR call to an \fIAce::Sequence\fR object.
.SH "OBJECT METHODS"
.IX Header "OBJECT METHODS"
Most methods are inherited from \fIAce::Sequence::Feature\fR.  The
following methods are also supported:
.IP \fBexons()\fR 4
.IX Item "exons()"
.Vb 1
\&  @exons = $gene\->exons;
.Ve
.Sp
Return a list of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to
annotated exons.
.IP \fBintrons()\fR 4
.IX Item "introns()"
.Vb 1
\&  @introns = $gene\->introns;
.Ve
.Sp
Return a list of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to
annotated introns.
.IP \fBcds()\fR 4
.IX Item "cds()"
.Vb 1
\&  @cds = $gene\->cds;
.Ve
.Sp
Return a list of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to
coding sequence.  THIS IS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
.IP \fBrelative()\fR 4
.IX Item "relative()"
.Vb 2
\&  $relative = $gene\->relative;
\&  $gene\->relative(1);
.Ve
.Sp
This turns on and off relative coordinates.  By default, the exons and
intron features will be returned in the coordinate system used by the
gene.  If \fBrelative()\fR is set to a true value, then coordinates will be
expressed as relative to the start of the gene.  The first exon will
(usually) be 1.
