GFFtools-GX 
===========

A collection of tools for converting genome annotation between [GTF](https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format4), [BED](https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1), [GenBank](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sitemap/samplerecord.html) and [GFF](https://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format3).

##### INTRODUCTION

Several genome annotation centers provide their data in GTF, BED, GFF and GenBank format. I have few programs, they mainly deals with converting between GTF, BED GenBank and GFF formats. They are extensively tested with files from different centers like [ENSEMBL](http://www.ensembl.org), [UCSC](https://genome.ucsc.edu/), [JGI](http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/) and [NCBI AceView](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/Research/Acembly/HelpJan.html). These programs can be easily integrated into your galaxy instance.

##### CONTENTS

Included utilities are: 

    BED-to-GFF: convert data from a 12 column UCSC wiggle BED format to GFF
    GBK-to-GFF: convert data from genbank format to GFF
    GFF-to-BED: convert data from GFF to 12 column BED format
    GFF-to-GTF: convert data from GFF to GTF 
    GTF-to-GFF: convert data from GTF to valid GFF

test-data: Test data set. (move to your galaxy-root-folder/test-data/)
    
    You may need to move the test files into your test-data directory so galaxy can find them. 
    If you want to run the functional tests eg as: 

    exmaple: 
    sh run_functional_tests.sh -id fml_gtf2gff

##### REQUIREMENTS

    python2.6 or 2.7 and biopython  

    Galaxy should be able to automatically install biopython via Galaxy toolshed.
