NAME

       bp_process_sgd.pl - Massage SGD annotation flat files into a version suitable for the
       Generic Genome Browser

SYNOPSIS

         % bp_process_sgd.pl chromosomal_features.tab > yeast.gff

DESCRIPTION

       This script massages the SGD sequence annotation flat files located at
       ftp://genome-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/yeast/data_dump/feature/chromosomal_features.tab into a
       version of the GFF format suitable for display by the generic genome browser.

       To use this script, get the SGD chromosomal_features.tab file from the FTP site listed
       above, and run the following command:

         % bp_process_sgd.pl chromosomal_features.tab > yeast.gff

       The yeast.gff file can then be loaded into a Bio::DB::GFF database using the following
       command:

         % bulk_load_gff.pl -d <databasename> yeast.gff
