Synopsis

  use Bio::DB::GFF;

  # Open the sequence database
  my $db      = Bio::DB::GFF->new( -adaptor => 'dbi:mysql',
                                   -dsn     => 'dbi:mysql:elegans42',
				   -aggregator => ['gene'],

 Aggregator method: gene
 Main method:       mRNA
 Sub methods:       CDS exon five_prime_UTR three_prime_UTR transcription_start_site polyA_site

Description

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::gene is identical to so_transcript, but is
used in those cases where you would like the name of the aggregated
feature to be "gene" rather than "processed_transcript". It aggregates
raw "exon," "CDS", "five_prime_UTR", "three_prime_UTR",
"transcription_start_site" and "polyA_site" features into "mRNA"
features. The UTRs may also be named "untranslated_region,"
"five_prime_untranslated_region," "three_prime_untranslated_region,",
"5'-UTR," and other synonyms.
