Hello Reg. GFF file format: I was wondering if the group/region field has to be (now or in the future) of the format

 ##sequence-region

I think Apollo (but not Artemis) breaks if that is not included.

The current version of Apollo does require sequence-region, but I just chatted with the developer and he is removing the requirement that it be there; he thought it was required by the GFF3 spec. Of course, this question would probably have been better asked on the Apollo mailing list: http://mail.fruitfly.org/mailman/listinfo/apollo --Scott 16:21, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Ah, thanks Scott
I also was under the impression it was in the GFF3 spec.

 This element is optional, but strongly encouraged because it allows parsers to perform bounds checking on features.

So I assumed that it was GBrowse that did not follow the spec.
