|
|
16
|
|
17 Bio::DB::GFF::Featname is the name of a feature. It contains two
|
|
18 fields: name and class. It is typically used by the Bio::DB::GFF
|
|
19 module to denote a group, and is accepted by
|
|
20 Bio::DB::Relsegment-E<gt>new() and Bio::DB::GFF-E<gt>segment() as a
|
|
21 replacement for the -name and -class arguments.
