ID-tag necessity

[desiro]

Hi,

I'd like to use your GAG tool in one of my pipelines. My problem is that some of the other tools will provide gff files without an ID-tag in every line.

E.g.:
https://github.com/desiro/test/blob/master/augustus2.gff

Would it be possible for you to make the ID-tags not a necessity when the parent of an entry has an ID-tag, but the entry itself doesn't?

Greetings
Daniel

Thanks Daniel, I'll have a look. My guess is that creating arbitrary numerical IDs shouldn't be that hard ...

Quick update, good news and bad -- we're looking to refactor the GFF parsing component of GAG to make it portable between other -omics projects we're working on, and this feature will definitely be part of the upgrade. However, it will probably be a few months before it's complete :(

I see
anyway sounds great, thanks =)
