# Let the code begin...
package Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::UTR;
use vars qw(@ISA);
use strict;
# Object preamble - inherits from Bio::Root::Root
use Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::NC_Feature;
@ISA = qw(Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::NC_Feature);
sub new {
my($class,@args) = @_;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@args);
return $self;
}
