Add equals() method:
Arg [1] : Bio::EnsEMBL::Transcript transcript Example : if ($transcriptA->equals($transcriptB)) { ... } Description : Compares two transcripts for equality. The test for eqality goes through the following list and terminates at the first true match: 1. If Bio::EnsEMBL::Feature::equals() returns false, then the transcripts are *not* equal. 2. If the biotypes differ, then the transcripts are *not* equal. 3. If both transcripts have stable IDs: if these are the same, the transcripts are equal, otherwise not. 4. If both transcripts have the same number of exons and if these are (when compared pair-wise sorted by start-position and length) the same, then they are equal, otherwise not. Return type : Boolean (0, 1) Exceptions : Thrown if a non-transcript is passed as the argument.
