[Bioperl-l] [Gmod-gbrowse] Cannot dump GFF with relative coords using Bio::DB::SeqFeature backend

[Lincoln Stein]

Hi Dan,

This is an inadvertent omission. I will need to add the refseq() method bo
Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Segment. It simply stores the start and strand
information from the reference sequence and then uses that information to
offset the coordinates returned by start(), end() and strand().
