ID-tag necessity #161

Open desiro opened 9 years ago

desiro commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I'd like to use your GAG tool in one of my pipelines. My problem is that some of the other tools will provide gff files without an ID-tag in every line.

E.g.: https://github.com/desiro/test/blob/master/augustus2.gff

Would it be possible for you to make the ID-tags not a necessity when the parent of an entry has an ID-tag, but the entry itself doesn't?

Greetings Daniel

Thanks Daniel, I'll have a look. My guess is that creating arbitrary numerical IDs shouldn't be that hard ...

Quick update, good news and bad -- we're looking to refactor the GFF parsing component of GAG to make it portable between other -omics projects we're working on, and this feature will definitely be part of the upgrade. However, it will probably be a few months before it's complete :(

I see anyway sounds great, thanks =)
