# Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::reftranscript(3pm)

## NAME

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::reftranscript -- Aggregates references transcripts

## SYNOPSIS

use Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator;

## DESCRIPTION

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::retranscript was written to make the compound  feature, "reftranscript" for use with Gbrowse editing software  developed outside of the GMOD development group.  It can be used to  aggregate "reftranscripts" from "refexons", loaded as second copy  features.  These features, in contrast to "transcripts", are usually  implemented as features which cannot be edited and serve as starting point references for annotations added using Gbrowse for feature  visualization.

Adding features to the compound feature, "reftranscript", can be done  by adding to the "part\_names" call (i.e. "refCDS").
