that makes working with sequence features in GFF3/GVF files straight forward and intuitive. GAL also provides numerous parser classes for
converting other formats to GFF3 and makes writing new parsers easy. GAL takes advantage of the ontology based
relationships captured in SO-based sequence feature data to allow
users to easily traverse the relationships between features in a GFF3 file. In addition to the GAL programming library many scripts utilizing
the library are included as well as several stand-alone scripts for
working with GFF/GVF and other genomic dataset.<div><br></div><div>Updates in this version include:<div><br></div><div><div>-Adding bin/footprint script</div><div>-Adding gal_indexer script</div><div>-Adding bin/gene_CDS_footprint script</div><div>-New CPAN style html docs for GAL</div><div>-Updates to gtf2gff3</div><div>-Adding warnings when mrna.pm can not return CDS or protein sequence</div><div>-Added progress counter to Storage::SQLite::load_files</div><div>-Adding --template option to gff_tool</div><div>-Adding templates/gff_tool_gvf_example2.tt</div><div>-Adding gal_remove_transcripts and gal_gff_tool</div><div>-Adding fix_gvf function to bin/gff_tool</div><div>-Added --clean to gal_protein_genes</div><div>-Adding GAL::Base::open_file</div><div><br></div><div>For more information, to access the GAL docs and to download GAL code please visit:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.sequenceontology.org/software/GAL.html">http://www.sequenceontology.org/software/GAL.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Barry Moore</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Research Scientist</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Dept. of Human Genetics</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Dept. of Biomedical Informatics</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">University of Utah</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">Salt Lake City, UT 84112</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">--------------------------------------------</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">(801) 585-3543</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; "><br></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
