    public void setSeqName(String seqName)

  Set the sequence name to seqName.

  Parameters:
    `seqName` - the new name

### getSeqName

    public String getSeqName()

  Description copied from interface: `GFFRecord`
  The sequence name field.

  This should be the name of the sequence that this GFF record is within.

  Specified by:
    `getSeqName` in interface `GFFRecord`
  Returns:
    the name of the sequence

### setSource

    public void setSource(String source)

  Set the feature source to source.

  Parameters:
    `source` - the new source

### getSource

    public String getSource()

  Description copied from interface: `GFFRecord`
  The source, or creator of this feature.

  This is usualy a program name.

  Specified by:
    `getSource` in interface `GFFRecord`
  Returns:
    the feature source

### setFeature

    public void setFeature(String feature)

  Set the feature type to type.

  Parameters:
    `feature` - the new feature type

### getFeature

    public String getFeature()

  Description copied from interface: `GFFRecord`
  The feature type filed.

  This is something like "exon" - usualy corresponds to an EMBL term.

  Specified by:
    `getFeature` in interface `GFFRecord`
  Returns:
    the feature type

### setStart

    public void setStart(int start)

  Set the start coordinate to start.

  Parameters:
    `start` - the new start coordinate

  The end of this feature within the source sequence.

  Specified by:
    `getEnd` in interface `GFFRecord`
  Returns:
    the end index

### setScore

    public void setScore(double score)

  Set the score to score.

  The score must be a double, inclusive of `0`. If you wish to indicate that there is no score, then use GFFRecord.NO_SCORE.

  Parameters:
    `score` - the new score

### getScore
