  • GTF file for maize?

    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...

        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.

          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.

            Oh, and in response to the comment

            Yeah, it looks like that. Harder to do than to say, though. Speaking from experience.

              Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
              by seqadmin


              Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
