Thanks for AGAT, it is amazing. I am having an issue with merging annotation files using the command "agat_sp_merge_annotations.pl". I am getting the following error message:
Can't call method "has_tag" on an undefined value at /home/students/q.abbas/perl5/lib/perl5/AGAT/OmniscientTool.pm line 1267.
I tried with different annotation files from different tools but still got the same error message. Can you please help me with that?
Here is the code I am running:
agat_sp_merge_annotations.pl --gff augustus.hints.gtf --gff AT1_Helixer.gtf --out merged_default+helixer.gtf
and here the output:

Hello Jacques,
Thanks for AGAT, it is amazing. I am having an issue with merging annotation files using the command "agat_sp_merge_annotations.pl". I am getting the following error message:
Can't call method "has_tag" on an undefined value at /home/students/q.abbas/perl5/lib/perl5/AGAT/OmniscientTool.pm line 1267.
I tried with different annotation files from different tools but still got the same error message. Can you please help me with that?
Here is the code I am running:
agat_sp_merge_annotations.pl --gff augustus.hints.gtf --gff AT1_Helixer.gtf --out merged_default+helixer.gtf
and here the output:
Cheers, Qussai
