EMBLmyGFF3

EMBLmyGFF3 converts GFF3 and FASTA files into EMBL format to prepare genome annotations for submission to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA).


Key Features:

  • Format conversion: Converts GFF3 and FASTA inputs into EMBL-formatted records compliant with ENA requirements.
  • Configurable mapping: Uses JSON parameter files to map GFF3 feature and attribute vocabularies to EMBL qualifiers and feature keys.
  • Annotation tool compatibility: Supports outputs from Maker, Prokka, Augustus, and Eugene.
  • ENA-compliant output: Produces EMBL records formatted to meet ENA submission standards.

Scientific Applications:

  • ENA submission preparation: Preparing and formatting genome annotation files for submission to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA).
  • Annotation pipeline integration: Converting outputs from annotation tools (Maker, Prokka, Augustus, Eugene) into EMBL for downstream archiving.

Methodology:

Parses GFF3 and FASTA inputs and maps features to EMBL using configurable JSON parameter files to generate EMBL-formatted records.
