[BioC] creating transcriptDB from gff3 files

[Valerie Obenchain]

Hi Gowthaman,

In GenomicFeatures in the development branch there is 
makeTranscriptDbFromGFF(). This man page describes how to use the 
Bioconductor development packages,

library(BiocInstaller)
?useDevel

Let us know if you have problems.
