Karen,

Sorry for the slow reply. There are no immediate plans to add either BED-to-GFF3 or GTF-to-GFF3 converters to Galaxy main or the Galaxy codebase.

However, if you're working with your own Galaxy, you might encourage the Rätsch lab to contribute their tools to the Galaxy Tool Shed (http://community.g2.bx.psu.edu/); you could then download them from there and install them in your own Galaxy. Alternatively, we welcome community contributions to the Galaxy codebase, and we'd be happy to incorporate these tools if they came with functional tests and test data.

Best,
J.

Hi Galaxy developers,

Any plans on adding a GTF-to-GFF3 format conversion?

This converter is at the Rätsch lab's instance of Galaxy (http://galaxy.tuebingen.mpg.de/). Could it be made more
widely available?
