=head1 NAME
Bio::EnsEMBL::Map::QtlFeature
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Represents a QtlFeature in the EnsEMBL database. QtlFeatures are
generally very long and its not clear wether a representation in Contig
coordinates actually makes sense. In the database they will have
chromosomal coordinates.

=head2 qtl
Arg [1] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Map::Qtl $qtl
the qtl object for this feature
Example : none
Description: return the Qtl object associated with this location

Status : Stable

=head2 strand
Arg [1] : none
Example : $strand = $qtl_feat->strand();
Description: Overrides the Feature strand method to always return a
value of 0 for qtl features (they are unstranded features)
Returntype : int (always 0)
Exceptions : none
Caller : general
Status : Stable
=cut
sub strand {
my $self = shift;
return 0;
}
=head2 move
Arg [1] : $start - The new end of this qtl feature
Arg [2] : $end - The new start of this qtl feature
Arg [3] : $strand - ignored always set to 0
Example : $qtl_feat->move(1, 10_000);
Description: Overrides superclass move() method to ensure strand is always 0.
