Thanks a lot for the coding effort and for sharing your script! But are you aware of this one <http://song.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/song/software/scripts/gtf2gff3/>, which has been out there for quite a while? If yes, any improvements upon it? That tool works fine for me, although it does require a large amount of memory...

Ensembl gtf to gff3 for tophat
I found a number of questions about finding a gff3 format file for use by tophat and couldn't find any good answers. I found a few gff3 converters but they were part of larger packages or online tools. Since I'd prefer something simpler, I wrote the attached gtf to gff converter for use with Ensembl's gtf file.
Feel free to use, modify, or distribute as you need.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
