  use Bio::DB::GFF;
  # Open the sequence database
  my $db      = Bio::DB::GFF->new( -adaptor => 'dbi:mysql',
                                   -dsn     => 'dbi:mysql:elegans42',
                                   -aggregator => ['coding'],
                                 );

DESCRIPTION

Bio::DB::GFF::Aggregator::coding aggregates "CDS" features into a feature called "coding" and was written to be compatible with the Sequence Ontology canonical gene. The CDS features are expected to belong to a parent of type "mRNA," but the aggregator will work even if this isn't the case.
