FlyBase gene models displayed as remote tracks on Gbrowse, via gbgff

gbgff is a GFF3 dumper script that come packaged with GBrowse version 1.69 and later.  Its purpose is the export configured annotations from one instance of Gbrowse to another.

  • It is analogous to DAS, except that:
    • It supports both server and client-side configuration of glyph rendering
    • It supports 3-level gene models and other multi-level features made possible by GFF3

Installation

  • gbgff does not require an special set-up, it is installed with Gbrowse.
  • This application has only been tested with servers using a GFF-3 back-end with Bio::SeqFeature::Store

Configuration

Server-side

  • No special configuration is required.
  • Tracks are configures as normal (see the Gbrowse tutorial and the Configure HOWTO for details)

Client-side

# Dirt simple GFF3 dumper, suitable for a lightweight replacement to DAS.
# Call this way:

# From within the "Add Remote Annotations" section, you can say:
