[Bioperl-l] Question on SeqFeature_RelationShip

[lajus]

Ok, I have looked in BioPerl code and it appears that subSeqFeature are 
not handled yet:
comment in SeqFeatureAdaptor.pm for store children function (and attach 
childrenn too):
"Bio::SeqFeatureI has a location, annotation, and possibly 
sub-seqfeatures as children. The latter is not implemented yet."

So it's totally normal, if it doesn't work.
Have you started to implement this stuff, or should I rewrite another 
SeqFeatureAdaptor which handle this ?
