NAME

       Bio::DB::GFF::Homol -- A segment of DNA that is homologous to another

SYNOPSIS

       See Bio::DB::GFF.

DESCRIPTION

       Bio::DB::GFF::Homol is a named subtype of Bio::DB::GFF::Segment.  It inherits all the
       methods of its parent, and was created primarily to allow for isa() queries and for
       compatibility with Ace::Sequence::Homol.

       A Homol object is typically returned as the method result of the
       Bio::DB::GFF::Feature->target() method.

   id
        Title   : id
