NAME

       Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::gene -- Sequence Ontology Geene

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.
