Iterate over the records in a RefGene file:

```python

from refgene_parser import RefGene

refgene = RefGene('mm10.refGene.txt.gz')

for i, gene in enumerate(refgene):
if i >= 10: break
print(gene)
```

```python
Gene("chr2", 11705292, 11733985, "+", name="Il15ra", id="NM_001271498")

```python

print(Kras)
print(Kras.sam_interval)
print(Kras.num_exons)
