[BioSQL-l] How to add a feature?

[Marc Logghe]

Hi Martina,
I don't know how it goes in BioJava but in BioPerl the flow looks like
this:
1) create your feature
2) make it persistent
3) add it to your (persistent) sequence object
4) store the sequence object in the databse
5) commit if necessary

HTH,
Marc
