DESCRIPTION
A feature representing a transcript.

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.

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

  promoters
 Title   : promoters()
 Usage   : @proms = $transcript->promoters();
 Function: Get the promoter features of this transcript.

           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 = $transcript->exons();
           @inital = $transcript->exons('Initial');
 Function: Get the individual exons this transcript comprises of, or all exons
           of a specified type.

           Refer to the documentation of the class that produced this
           transcript 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
 Args    : An optional string specifying the type of the exon.

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

  poly_A_site
 Title   : poly_A_site()
 Usage   : $polyAsite = $transcript->poly_A_site();
 Function: Get the poly-adenylation site of this transcript.
 Returns : A Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing object.
 Args    :

  utrs
 Title   : utrs()
 Usage   : @utr_sites = $transcript->utrs();
 Function: Get the UTR regions this transcript comprises of.

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

 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
 Args    :

  mrna
 Title   : mrna()
 Usage   : $mrna = $transcript->mrna();
 Function: Get the mRNA of the transcript as a sequence object.

 Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object.
 Args    :

  cds
 Title   : cds()
 Usage   : $cds = $transcript->cds();
 Function: Get the CDS (coding sequence) of the transcript as a sequence
           object.

 Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object.
 Args    :

  protein
 Title   : protein()
 Usage   : $protein = $transcript->protein();
 Function: Get the protein encoded by the transcript as a sequence object.

 Returns : A Bio::PrimarySeqI implementing object.
 Args    :

  parent
 Title   : parent
 Usage   : $obj->parent($newval)
 Function: get the parent gene of the transcript
 Returns : value of parent - a Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::GeneStructureI-compliant object
 Args    : a Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::GeneStructureI-compliant object (optional)
