    HTSeq, GTF vitis vinifera, mismatched quotes

    Hi!
    I'm trying using HTSeq.
    I have a problem with thr GTF file.
    I'm working with vitis vinifera and i downloaded the gtf file from the website plant.ensembl.

    I have this kind of error.
    I typed this command:
    htseq-count --mode=intersection-nonempty /Users/Desktop/accepted_hits.sam /Users/Desktop/Vitis_vinifera.IGGP_12x.18.gtf > gene_count.txt

    and i got this message:

    Error occured in line 5484 of file /Users/Desktop/Vitis_vinifera.IGGP_12x.18.gtf.
    Error: The attribute string seems to contain mismatched quotes.
    [Exception type: ValueError, raised in __init__.py:174]



    Does someone know something about how to fix this?
    Does someone know another site for downloading the GTF for vitis vinifera?

    Thank you so much!

    Plant people seem to have a habit of using strange characters in their gene names, such as semicolons and apostrophes, and HTSeq's GFF parser sometimes stumbles over these. Eventually, I have to make the parser more robust, but until then, you can maybe just try to find and remove these charcters.

      Did it!
      I found them and changed with an underscore.
      Now is running!
      Thank you.

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
