[galaxy-user] Creating or Downloading GTF files for use with Cuffcompare

[Joe Harrison]

Hello Olivier, Emilie and the Galaxy community -

I have run into a similar problem with my RNA-seq analysis, in that I 
can run the analysis up to the point of Cufflinks producing a list of 
FPKM values for my genome of interest (in this case, Staphylococcus 
aureus strain Newman).  However, I cannot find a place to download a 
compatible .GTF file with the reference annotation.  Would you or anyone 
else in the community know of tool or database where .GTF files could be 
created from another input file (such as GFF3), or better yet, just 
downloaded?

As for possibilities with file conversion, most microbial genomes are 
available from NCBI in a variety of formats (but not GTF).  For S. 
aureus Newman, these files can be found at the following link:

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genbank/genomes/Bacteria/Staphylococcus_aureus_Newman_uid18801

Many thanks for your help!

Joe
