Synopsis

  use Bio::DB::GFF;

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

Description

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::alignment is one of the default aggregators,
and was written to be compatible with the C elegans GFF files. It
aggregates raw "similarity" features into composite features of type
"alignment". A better name for this class might be
"gapped_alignment."
