 Title   : exons()
 Usage   : @exons = $gene->exons();
           @inital = $gene->exons('Initial');
 Function: Get all exon features or all exons of specified type of this gene
           structure.

           Refer to the documentation of the class that produced this gene
           structure object for information about the possible types.

           See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
           returned objects.

 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
           representing the exon regions.
 Args    : An optional string specifying the type of the exon.
intronscodeprevnextTop
 Title   : introns()
 Usage   : @introns = $gene->introns();
 Function: Get all introns of this gene structure.
 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
           introns.
 Args    :
poly_A_sitescodeprevnextTop
 Title   : poly_A_sites()
 Usage   : @polyAsites = $gene->poly_A_sites();
 Function: Get the poly-adenylation features/sites of this gene structure.
 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
           poly-adenylation regions or sites.
 Args    :
promoterscodeprevnextTop
 Title   : promoters()
 Usage   : @prom_sites = $gene->promoters();
 Function: Get the promoter features/sites of this gene structure.

           Note that OO-modeling of regulatory elements is not stable yet.
           This means that this method might change or even disappear in a
           future release. Be aware of this if you use it.

 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing objects representing the
           promoter regions or sites.
 Args    :
transcriptscodeprevnextTop
 Title   : transcripts()
 Usage   : @transcripts = $gene->transcripts();
 Function: Get the transcript features/sites of this gene structure.

           See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI for properties of the
           returned objects.

 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI implementing objects
           representing the promoter regions or sites.
 Args    :
utrscodeprevnextTop
 Title   : utrs()
 Usage   : @utr_sites = $gene->utrs();
 Function: Get the UTR features/sites of this gene structure.

           See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the
           returned objects.

 Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI implementing objects
           representing the UTR regions or sites.
 Args    :
