Hi,
Is there a GTF file for maize? I know a GFF file exists but I'm using Cufflinks and need the GTF.
Thanks,
Ann

Thanks for the link however the file only seems to contain entries for chromosome 9...Comment

Has anyone been able to locate a maize GTF file or create one from the GFF file from the Filtered Gene Set (http://ftp.maizesequence.org/current/filtered-set/)? Would be very useful.
To convert a GFF into a GTF, it looks like it's just a matter of re-formatting, but I'm unclear as to how to do that.Comment

When we mentioned the 'chromosome 9' only problem to Ensembl they basically said "oops, will be corrected in the next release." Which was suppose to be today and, yes, I just checked, was today. See:
ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/release-9/plants/gtf/
I haven't actually looked the maize GTF in detail yet -- that is now on my 'to do' list for the day -- but they do have entries for all 10 chromosomes.Comment

Oh, and in response to the comment
Yeah, it looks like that. Harder to do than to say, though. Speaking from experience.To convert a GFF into a GTF, it looks like it's just a matter of re-formatting,Comment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...05-22-2026, 06:42 AM -
Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.
Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...05-06-2026, 09:04 AM
