FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
       of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
       it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the
       web:

APPENDIX

       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.  Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

   transcripts
	Title	: transcripts()
	Usage	: @transcripts = $gene->transcripts();
	Function: Get the transcript features/sites of this gene structure.

		  See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI for properties of the
		  returned objects.

	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI implementing objects
		  representing the promoter regions or sites.
	Args	:

   promoters
	Title	: promoters()
	Usage	: @prom_sites = $gene->promoters();
	Function: Get the promoter features/sites of this gene structure.

		  Note that OO-modeling of regulatory elements is not stable yet.
		  This means that this method might change or even disappear in a
		  future release. Be aware of this if you use it.

	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
		  promoter regions or sites.
	Args	:

   exons
	Title	: exons()
	Usage	: @exons = $gene->exons();
		  @inital = $gene->exons('Initial');
	Function: Get all exon features or all exons of specified type of this gene
		  structure.

		  Refer to the documentation of the class that produced this gene
		  structure object for information about the possible types.

		  See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
		  returned objects.

	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
		  representing the exon regions.
	Args	: An optional string specifying the type of the exon.

   introns
	Title	: introns()
	Usage	: @introns = $gene->introns();
	Function: Get all introns of this gene structure.
	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
		  introns.
	Args	:

   poly_A_sites
	Title	: poly_A_sites()
	Usage	: @polyAsites = $gene->poly_A_sites();
	Function: Get the poly-adenylation features/sites of this gene structure.
	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
		  poly-adenylation regions or sites.
	Args	:

   utrs
	Title	: utrs()
	Usage	: @utr_sites = $gene->utrs();
	Function: Get the UTR features/sites of this gene structure.

		  See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
		  returned objects.

	Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
		  representing the UTR regions or sites.
	Args	:
