=head1 NAME

Bio::ViennaNGS::MinimalFeature - A Moose wrapper for stranded genomic
intervals.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::ViennaNGS::MinimalFeature;

  my $feat = Bio::ViennaNGS::MinimalFeature->new(chromosome => "chr1",
                                                 start => "1200",
                                                 end => "4300",
                                                 strand => "+",
                                                );
  $feat->dump();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides an object-oriented interface for storing
elementary stranded genomic intervals characterized via chromosome,
start position, end position and strand. As such, it can be regarded a
simple wrapper for BED4 elements.

This class inherits from L<Bio::ViennaNGS::FeatureInterval> and is the
base classs for L<Bio::ViennaNGS::Feature>.
