Support import/conversion from GFF #547

Open cjmyers opened 6 years ago

cjmyers commented 6 years ago

GFF is a commonly used format that is similar to GenBank but also supports hierarchical notation.

Currently, GFF files can be converted into SBOL by down-converting to GenBank (which loses information), and then converting the GenBank to SBOL.

It would be better to be able to convert directly from GFF to SBOL, so that we don't lose information.
