=head1 NAME
Bio::Expression::FeatureI - an interface class for DNA/RNA features
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Do not use this module directly
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This provides a standard bioperl interface class for representing
DNA and RNA features. It cannot be instantiated directly, but serves
as an abstract base class for implementors.
