=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::coding -- The Coding Region Aggregator
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::DB::GFF;
# Open the sequence database
my $db = Bio::DB::GFF->new( -adaptor => 'dbi:mysql',
-dsn => 'dbi:mysql:elegans42',
-aggregator => ['coding'],
);
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregator method: coding
Main method: mRNA
Sub methods: CDS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::coding aggregates "CDS" features into a
feature called "coding" and was written to be compatible with the
Sequence Ontology canonical gene. The CDS features are expected to
belong to a parent of type "mRNA," but the aggregator will work even
if this isn't the case.
