DESCRIPTION

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::transcript is one of the default aggregators, and was written to be compatible with the C elegans GFF files. It aggregates raw "``exon'', ``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 ``Transcript'' (notice the capital ``T'').

Internally this module is very simple. To override it with one that recognizes a main feature named ``gene'', simply follow this template:

  my $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new(...etc...)
  my $aggregator = Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator->new(-method => 'transcript',
                                                 -main_method => 'gene',
                                                 -sub_parts => ['exon','CDS']);
  $db->add_aggregator($aggregator);
