Seems like gtf/gff are the same
The GFF (General Feature Format) format consists of one line per feature, each containing 9 columns of data, plus optional track definition lines. The following documentation is based on the Version 2 specifications.
The GTF (General Transfer Format) is identical to GFF version 2.
Looks like the latest version is GFF3 so maybe we should just support that? http://gmod.org/wiki/GFF3
@oneillkza What format are the gff files you have in? v3?
GTF
From Ensembl, so I guess GFF version 2.
But for sure it would make sense to also support GFF3
Added it as a tool for now, may include in the main package later on if it gets used a fair amount
Based on internal testing, annotation file support is working as intended.
Overview
Currently,
gtf
andgff
file formats are common file formats for storing information on annotations. As version 3 of MAVIS only supports json file formations for annotation, some level of support should be provided to users wanting to convertgtf
andgff
files into MAVIS acceptedjson
