[Bioperl-l] GFF3 and Gbrowse

[Lincoln Stein]

The bioperl GFF database (both the inmemory and relational database versions) 
need to be brought up to date to handle the full expressive powerof GFF3. So 
for the time being ID trumps Name. Also you must use the so_transcript 
aggregator instead of the processed_transcript aggregator.
