—————=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::GFF::Homol -- A segment of DNA that is homologous to another
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See L<Bio::DB::GFF>.
=head1 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-E<gt>target() method.
