       Ace::Sequence::Gene is a subclass of Ace::Sequence::Feature.  It inherits all the methods of
       Ace::Sequence::Feature, but adds the ability to retrieve the annotated introns and exons of the gene.

       Ace::Sequence::Transcript - Simple "Gene" Object

       You will not ordinarily create an Ace::Sequence::Gene object directly.  Instead, objects will be created
       in response to a transcripts() call to an Ace::Sequence object.

       Most methods are inherited from Ace::Sequence::Feature.  The following methods are also supported:

       exons()
             @exons = $gene->exons;

           Return a list of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to annotated exons.

       introns()
             @introns = $gene->introns;

           Return a list of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to annotated introns.

       cds()
             @cds = $gene->cds;

           Return  a  list  of Ace::Sequence::Feature objects corresponding to coding sequence.  THIS IS NOT YET
           IMPLEMENTED.

       relative()
             $relative = $gene->relative;
             $gene->relative(1);

           This turns on and off relative coordinates.  By default,  the  exons  and  intron  features  will  be
           returned  in  the  coordinate  system  used  by the gene.  If relative() is set to a true value, then
           coordinates will be expressed as relative to the start of the gene.  The first exon will (usually) be
           1.
